Hala Sultan Tekke: building with tower and trees
Description
A whitewashed arched gateway with a tiled pitched roof leads along a paved path to a dark inner doorway. Behind it rise a tall stone minaret with a balcony and conical cap, a low domed building and several cypress trees. A low wall with iron railings and carved stone posts runs along the right side of the path.
