The Seljuk Hunting Lodge is dated to the period between 1230 and 1248. It is in the forest area at the entrance of Kemer 1 of the Antalya-Kumluca Highway. The lodge is 10 minutes away from Kemer and is one of the three known Seljuk Hunting Lodges. It is the only Seljuk structure in the region and the only example of Turkish-Islamic Art tradition.
The star figure is formed by combining two equilateral triangles known as the seal of Prophet Süleyman on the roof of the mansion. It is among the special structures, and it increases the importance of the building, as it represents both the architectural art of the period and the religious belief. Again, the hexagonal star embossed stone staircase on the flag of the Tekelioğlu Principality is one of the most beautiful examples from the Seljuk Period. The entrance door and the wall near it have collapsed, but most of the roofs and walls of the mansion are in good condition.
Seljuk Hunting Lodge is proof that the district has many archaeological and historical beauties and unique nature. It has been intensively working to bring it into tourism in recent years. During your visit to Kemer, it is waiting to be discovered as one of the cultural values that reveal Antalya's deep-rooted civilization.
