Antalya
Mevlevihane
museum;
It
containg
a
building
complex
consisting
of
Mevlevihane,
Bath,
Zincirkiran
Mehmet
Bey
and
Nigar
Hatun
tombs.
The
Mevlevihane
building
is
located
on
a
high
terrace
within
the
group
of
structures
including
the
Yivli
Minaret.
The
building
is
a
rectangular,
two-storey
masonry
building
measuring
13.45x32.22
meters.
The
main
room,which
is
entered
by
an
arched
door
on
the
south
facade,
has
an
iwan
covered
with
a
pointed
vault
in
the
east,
one
in
the
northeast,
two
in
the
north,
and
three
rooms
with
barrel
vaults
in
the
west.
It
is
thought
that
there
rooms
were
used
by
dervishes
staying
in
the
Mevlevihane.
Althought
it
is
said
that
the
building
was
built
as
a
Mevlevihane
or
as
a
sect
building
in
Seljuk
Period,
in
a
source
from
the
19th
century,
Sultan
Korkud-Aleaddin
Zawiyah
was
called
"owner
/hayrat
vel-hasenat"
and
is
was
given
to
Sehzade
Korkut
as
the
master
and
founder
of
the
Mevlevihane.
With
reference
to
it,
it
is
understood
that
the
building
in
question,
functioned
as
a
Mevlevihane
in
the
Ottoman
period
from
the
early
16th
century.
As
a
matter
of
fact,
when
Evliya
Celebi
saw
it
in
the
17th
century,
the
building
was
wed
as
a
Mevlevihane.
