Kaleiçi is the name given to the city center surrounded by sea and land walls, located within the borders of Antalya's Muratpaşa district. The streets and structures of Kaleiçi bring the traces of Antalya's history to the present day. The importance of old houses is not only in terms of architecture, but also conveys very useful information about people's way of life, behavior, traditions and social aspects.

In 1972, Antalya inner harbor and Kaleiçi district were taken under protection as a "SIT area" by the "Real Estate Antiquities and Monuments High Council" due to its unique texture. The Golden Apple Tourism Oscar award was given to the Ministry of Tourism by FIJET (International Association of Tourism Writers) on April 28, 1984, for its restoration work on the "Antalya-Kaleiçi Complex". Today, Kaleiçi has become an entertainment center with its hotels, hostels, restaurants and bars. Kaleici's streets are narrow. They mostly extend upwards from the harbor in the direction of the outer walls. Houses may differ according to the economic power of their owners and their intended use. But they have many common features. They were generally made of masonry stone and wood-linked. All of them have a street front and a garden that does not see the street. On the face facing the street, there are very few windows on the first floor. On the upper floor, there are protrusions called "Cumba" and made in accordance with both house and street architecture. These protrusions are decorated with tree ornaments. At the center of the houses, on the ground floor, "Taşlık", which opens to the garden and has stone floors, forms. There are wooden sofas on these pebbles. From here, the rooms on the ground floor can be reached, as well as the upper floor is reached by a staircase. The ground floor is mostly the service part of the house. Rooms with functions such as storage and kitchen are here. The upper floor is for living. The upper floor rooms are brighter because the windows are larger. Often these rooms have two rows of windows on top of each other. The upper windows are without glass and consist of wooden cages, and the lower windows are of the type that can be opened and closed. The upper windows of the bay windows have small and usually colored glass. Many houses in Kaleiçi have been restored to their original form. Today, Kaleiçi has become a tourism center with entertainment venues, hostels, restaurants, souvenir shops and antique carpet shops. In addition, the most famous of the historical mosques in Kaleiçi is the Yivli Minare Mosque, which is also seen as the symbol of Antalya.
