Hunat Hatun Complex is Turkey's very own Taj Mahal that was built in honor of its daughter. Hunat Hatun was the daughter of the Christian governor of Alanya who was also known as Mahperi or Fairy Moon by her better half. When Selçuk Sultan Alaaeddin Kaykubat conquered Alanya, he demanded the governor's daughter's hand in marriage in order to bury the hatchet. Thus, the Hunat Hatun Complex was built in 1237 as a tribute to Hunat Hatun by the Sultan after her death. The complex consists of a mosque, a tomb and a public bath. The complex has eclectic carvings on the walls, many chambers and a serene courtyard jutted amongst them. A nice place admired by many for its lovely architecture.
