ABOUT SAFRANBOLU
Since its declaration on December 17, 1994, Safranbolu has remained a living testament to Ottoman-era architecture and culture, offering visitors a journey through time with its cobblestone streets, traditional houses, mosques, bathhouses, and bridges.
Known as the "Fingerprint of the Ottomans" for its well-preserved architecture and urban life, the district first attracted attention with the 1976 documentary "Time in Safranbolu," directed by the late Turkish filmmaker Suha Arın.
The film won the "Best Short Film" award at the 14th Antalya Film Festival, bringing national recognition to Safranbolu's cultural significance.
Safranbolu is one of the world's best examples of preserving both tangible and intangible heritage, from the city's architecture to traditional handicrafts. Preservation efforts in the region began in the 1970s and now encompass approximately 2,400 historical structures registered as a Heritage Site. "Most importantly, this approach has contributed to the preservation of Safranbolu's unique architecture and cultural values since its inscription on the UNESCO World Heritage List in 1994," he says.
Over the past thirty years, more than 600 minor repairs, 260 restorations, and 75 fountain renovations have been completed in the historic district.
During the tour with your English-speaking guide, you'll see some of the best-preserved and most important houses on the region's cultural heritage list and learn the story of how Safranbolu rose from the ashes during the reign of Sultan Ibrahim, as well as valuable information forgotten in the dusty archives of the city's historical records!
It should also be added that Safranbolu was registered as Citta Slow City in April 2024, attracting the attention of world travelers who have a great interest in cities with this title.
