Monument to Seljuk Sultan Giyaseddin Keikhusrev I

The monument to Giyaseddin Keyhusrev I in Antalya is dedicated to the sultan, whose role in the life of Turkey was invaluable. He was the first to conquer Turkey in 1207. He created the Turkish Navy. During his reign, new opportunities for foreign trade were opened: the Sultan concluded the necessary agreement between the Turks and Venetian merchants to conduct trade. The monument is located in the central part of the city on Republic Square. The figure of the sultan is riding a horse, with an outstretched hand pointing to the future. The pedestal is as tall as a man. The author of the project is Meret Ovezov. You can get there by taxi or tram.
