Turkey-Safranbolu
Safranbolu has a beautifully preserved collection of old Ottoman houses and is a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Kaymakamlar Muze Evi, with a display of traditional Ottoman life, is the most interesting. During the 17th century Safranbolu was on the main Ottoman trade road between Gerede and the Black Sea harbours, bringing commerce and wealth to the town. During 18th and 19th centuries wealthy inhabitants built mansions of sun-dried mud bricks, wood and stucco.
