"Fluted Minaret" Mosque), also known as the Alaaddin Mosque (Turkish: Alaaddin Camii) or simply Grand Mosque (Turkish: Ulu Camii), in Antalya is a historical mosque built by the Anatolian Seljuk Sultan Kayqubad I. It is part of a külliye (complex of structures) which includes the Gıyaseddin Keyhüsrev Medrese, Seljuk and Dervish lodge, and the vaults of Zincirkıran and Nigar Hatun. The mosque is located in Kaleiçi (the old town centre) along Cumhuriyet Caddesi, next to Kalekapısı Meydanı.
