About Aksaray Red Mosque
The Red Minaret Mosque, sometimes called the Leaning Minaret, or Eğri Minaret, is located in the city center of Aksaray.
It belongs to the Seljuk period, and between the years 1221-1237 I. It was built during the reign of Alaeddin Keykubad. It is known as the "Red Minaret" because it is made of red brick.
The cylindrical body, which is seated on a square base, is divided into two parts with a thin molding, the lower part is covered with zigzag and the upper part is covered with blue and green tile mosaics. Since the minaret was in danger of collapse, it was tied with steel ropes in 1973. The mosque next to it was built later.
