ABOUT SAFRANBOLU
Since its designation on Dec. 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, baths and bridges.
Known as the “Fingerprint of the Ottomans” for its well-preserved architecture and urban life, the district first gained attention with the 1976 documentary “Time in Safranbolu,” directed by the late Turkish filmmaker Suha Arin.
The film won the “Best Short Film” award at the 14th Antalya Film Festival and brought national recognition to Safranbolu’s cultural significance.
Safranbolu is one of the best example in the world of preserving both tangible and intangible heritage - from city’s architecture to its traditional handicrafts. The conservation efforts in the area began in the 1970s and now encompass around 2,400 registered historical structures in Heritaged area. “Most importantly, this approach contributed to preserving Safranbolu's unique architecture and cultural values after its inclusion in the UNESCO World Heritage List in 1994,”
Over the past three decades, more than 600 minor repairs, 260 restorations and 75 fountain renovations have been completed in the historical district.
During your tour with your English-speaking guide, you will see some of the best-preserved and most important houses on the cultural heritage list of the region, and you will learn the story of how Safranbolu was reborn from its ashes during the reign of Sultan İbrahim, as well as valuable information forgotten in the dusty archives of the city's historical notes!
It should also be added that new information is that Safranbolu has attracted the attention of world travelers who are highly interested in cities with this title, by being registered as a Citta Slow City in April 2024.
