 A
Journey To The Past: Beypazari
In the 17th century the Ottoman
traveller Evliya Çelebi wrote that Beypazarı lays in two valleys and
consisted of 3011 two-storey houses with timber covered adobe
walls. He said that the town had 70 schools, seven hans
and hamams and 600 shops, and a weekly market where
all kinds of fine and valuable commodities were sold. In 1884 a
fire destroyed thousand of houses in the town, which were rebuilt by
craftsmen from Beypazarı and Safranbolu in the late 19th century.
Today with its over 3000 houses and two-centuries old buildings in
the town centre, Beypazarı is one of the unspoilt Otoman towns in
Turkey. The old quarter is under conservation, and the exteriors of
500 of these picturesque houses have already been restored.
Works on the others is continuing.
