Yivliminare Mosque
Yivli Minaret Mosque () is a historic mosque located in Kaleiçi, the old town center of Antalya, Turkey. Situated along Cumhuriyet Street near Kalekapısı Square, it is one of the city’s most important landmarks. Its fluted brick minaret, adorned with traces of blue tilework, has become a widely recognized symbol of Antalya. History The origins of the Yivli Minaret Mosque date back to the early 13th century. Following the Seljuk conquest of Antalya in 1226, a mosque was constructed on the site of a ruined Byzantine church around 1230. This early structure reflected the Seljuk approach of integrating earlier architectural elements into new Islamic buildings. The minaret, which gives the mosque its name, was likely commissioned during the reign of Alaaddin Keykubad I (1220–1237), a ruler known for his extensive architectural patronage across Anatolia. The original mosque was either destroyed or fell into disrepair during the 14th century. In 1373, it was rebuilt by Mehme ...

Concubines Of Ottoman Sultans
Concubinage is an interpersonal relationship, interpersonal and Intimate relationship, sexual relationship between two people in which the couple does not want to, or cannot, enter into a full marriage. Concubinage and marriage are often regarded as similar, but mutually exclusive. During the early stages of European colonialism, administrators often encouraged European men to practice concubinage to discourage them from paying prostitutes for sex (which could spread venereal disease) and from homosexuality. Colonial administrators also believed that having an intimate relationship with a native woman would enhance white men's understanding of native culture and would provide them with essential domestic labor. The latter was critical, as it meant white men did not require wives from the metropole, hence did not require a family wage. Colonial administrators eventually discouraged the practice when these liaisons resulted in offspring who threatened colonial rule by producing a m ...
