The tower, erected in the southern part of Antalya Bay, probably played the role of a lighthouse or performed defensive functions. The massive drum is located on a square base, probably built in the Hellenistic period. The total height of the structure is 13.5 meters.nEntrance was through a door in the eastern facade. From a small room through a narrow staircase you can get to the upper floor.
