It was first built in 1231 in the time of the Seljuk Sultan Alaeddin Keykubat just outside the İçkale. The mosque was demolished as a result of lightning and was rebuilt in the 16th century by the Ottoman Sultan Suleiman the Magnificent. It is also known as Alaeddin Mosque, Kale Mosque and Orta Hisar Mosque.
The mosque, which has a single minaret, was constructed of rubble stone in a square plan and was covered with a dome resting on an octagonal pulley. 15 small cubes were placed on the part of the dome which served as a hanger to provide acoustics. Those who want to see the Süleymaniye mosque in Alanya Castle can easily reach Alanya Castle by public bus.
