    Default Urban life and the landscapes from Turkey



    Pictures of Turkey.






















    Turkey is a country of many different shades of grey. Let's leave it to the Turks to colour the picture for us and show off their country.

Built in 1230 and fully reconstructed in 1373, the minaret is 38 metres (125 ft) high, built on a square stone base, with eight fluted sections and has 90 steps to the top.

    Default Urban life pictures from Turkey

    I was browsing the pictures in the skyscrapercity website and i saw some cities of Turkey in there. I would like to share some of the pictures to you.

    First one is Turkey`s 3rd biggest city, Izmir. It`s the westernmost city of Turkey located in Aegean side, located around the gulf of Izmir. The population of the city is around 3,5 million. Izmir is famous with it`s palm trees and the cafes, bars around the whole gulf with all the tables outside because of hot climate.

    I think you should have put more a title like:

    Urban life from Western Turkey, since you have shown pictures of from 2 cities that are based in Western part of Turkey.

    To make it fair you should also post pictures of 2 different cities from North of Turkey, Central part of Turkey, South part of Turkey as well as 2 cities from Eastern part of Turkey. Otherwise just modify your title according to my suggestion.

    rolleyes Kayseri - Central Anatolian City of Turkey

    My maternal side is from Kayseri and Kayseri belongs to Central Anatolian region.

    This is a very useful map in order to see the regions within Turkey:



    You can see also Kayseri in this map:


    Some facts about Kayseri:

    Kayseri (pronounced [kajˈseɾi]) is a large and industrialized city in Central Anatolia, Turkey. It is the seat of Kayseri Province. The city of Kayseri, as defined by the boundaries of Kayseri Metropolitan Municipality, is structurally composed of five metropolitan districts, the two core districts of Kocasinan and Melikgazi, and since 2004, also Hacılar, İncesu and Talas.

    In conjunction with the addition of new districts and first stage municipalities into the metropolitan area, the city's population, which was 536,000 in 2000, was 845,000 in 2011. Kayseri is located at the foot of the extinct volcano Mount Erciyes that towers 3916 m over the city.

    Its inhabitants (Kayserili) are renowned for their alertness, entrepreneurial spirit and a strict understanding regarding the management of economies, the last point having been the subject of more than a few legends in Turkey.wealth of the city itself is a blend of modernity and conservatism.

    The city is often cited in the first ranks among Turkey's cities that fit the definition of Anatolian Tigers.[3]
    Etymology
    Kayseri was originally called Mazaka or Mazaca by the Hattians.

    It was changed to Eusebia after Ariarathes V Eusebes, King of Cappadocia (163–130 BCE). It was changed again by Archelaus (d. 17 CE), last King of Cappadocia (36 BCE–14 CE) and a Roman vassal, to "Caesarea in Cappadocia" (to distinguish it from other cities with the name Caesarea in the Roman Empire) in honour of Caesar Augustus, upon his death in 14 CE.

    When the Muslim Arabs arrived, they slightly modified the name into Kaisariyah, and this eventually became Kayseri when the Seljuk Turks took control of the city in circa 1080 CE, remaining as such ever since.
    History of Kayseri
    The Arab general (and later the first Umayyad Caliph) Muawiyah invaded Cappadocia and took Caesarea from the Byzantines temporarily in 647.[8] The city was called Kaisariyah by the Arabs and later Kayseri[6] when it was captured shortly by the Seljuk sultan Alp Arslan in 1064.

    It became one of the most prominent centers of initially the Danishmendids (1074–1178), and later the Anatolian Seljuk Sultanate (1178–1243), until it fell to the Mongols in 1243.

    Within the walls lies the greater part of Kayseri rebuilt between the 13th and 16th centuries. The city became Ottoman in the 15th century.
    Thus, there were three golden-age periods for Kayseri. The first, dating back to 2000 BCE, was when the city was a trade post between the Assyrians and the Hittites.

    The second golden age came during the Roman rule (200 - 300). The third golden age was during the reign of Seljuks (1178–1243), when the city was the second capital of the state.

    The 1500-year-old castle, built initially by the Byzantines and expanded by the Seljuks and Ottomans, is still standing in good condition in the central square of the city.
