A HISTORICAL CITY
Please
think about a
city in Turkey
which is not
known by Turks
much but become
a ‘UNESCO World
Heritage City’ since
1994 and known
as ‘the Capital
of History’. This is
a hard question
for almost everybody
in our country .But
the answer is
easy to one
who has an
information about it. This
city is Safranbolu.
It is
an old town
and it preserves many old buildings, with 1008
registered historical artefacts. These are: 1 private museum, 25 mosques, 5 tombs, 8 historical fountains, 5
Turkish baths, 3 caravanserais, one of
them is famous
‘Cinci Han’ , 1 historical clock tower on
the Castle Province, north of
the old city, 1 sundial in the
courtyard of Köprülü
Mehmet Pasha Mosque and hundreds of houses and mansions. Also, except its
historical buildings, it is also known
with Bulak Mencilis
Cave which is
the fourth biggest
cave in Turkey
and İncekaya Aqueduct.
Other
famous things of
Safranbolu are saffron
which gives its
name to this
historical city and
of course with
various kinds of
it from rosy
to saffron is ‘Turkish delight’.
In short,
this is
a historical city
everybody should see
in their life
at least once.Every
year,thousands of Far
Eastern tourist visit
this city from
thousands of kilometres
far but the
Turks don’t visit
this city as Far
Eastern
tourist as. My wish
is one day, Turks would
overcome the number
of the Far eastern.
