The Red Tower (Kızıl Kule) is a striking octagonal brick structure built in 1226 by the Seljuk Sultan Alaeddin Keykubad. Standing 33 meters tall, it once guarded Alanya's harbor and now serves as a maritime museum. Inside, five floors display ship models, naval artifacts, and exhibits on the region's seafaring history. Climbing to the top rewards visitors with excellent views of the harbor and castle. Its distinctive red bricks and strategic location make it one of Alanya's most photographed landmarks.
