Afyon is in mountainous countryside inland from the Aegean coast, 250 km (155 mi) south-west of Ankara along the Akar River. Elevation 1,034 meters. Population (2000 census) 128,516. Being high up the weather in winter is cold and the roads are icy.

I am imagining the call to prayer echoing through the streets.
I always thought minarets were supposed to be for actual men to climb up and call. I didn't know they could just be small and have speakers. Learn something new everyday.
A very unusual minaret!
