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.

The mosque's fluted minaret called the Yivli Minare, which is decorated with dark blue tiles,[1] is a landmark and symbol of the city.

The minaret is 38 metres (125 ft) high and free-standing,[3] built on a square stone base, with eight fluted sections[1] and has 90 steps to the top.

Today the building houses the Antalya Ethnographic Museum and contains clothing, kitchen utensils, embroidery, tapestries and looms, socks, sacks, kilims, ornaments, and nomadic tents.
