The four-legged minaret, the minaret of the Sheikh Mutahhar Mosque in the Balıkçılarbaşı district, was built on a four-cornered stone pillar. The minaret, which represents four Islamic sects, is the only four-legged minaret in Anatolia. The mosque was built in the 1500s by the Akkoyunlus. According to one belief, the wishes of the people who cross the pillars of mosque minarets 7 times are accepted.
