A Short Trip To Safranbolu 2022

Named for the saffron that was grown and traded here for centuries, Safranbolu is

today popular with visitors who come to soak in its old Ottoman atmosphere. Many

of the town’s historic wood-framed mansions have been restored and converted into

picture-perfect boutique hotels, cafes and restaurants. If it all starts to seem a little

too cutesy, the canyons, waterfalls and woods of the nearby Yenice Forest are a

natural tonic.

Why the called it Safranbolu?

The city received its name from the saffron which is native in Safranbolu. The

powder obtained from its flower is a very strong dye. Used in very small quantities,

saffron adds a delicate flavor, distinct aroma and a very unique color to desserts

and other food in the Turkish Cuisine. It is also used on some Turkish carpets as a

unique dye. Also unique in Safranbolu is the famous Çavus grapes with its extremely

thin skin and sweet flavor.

Safranbolu displays its extremely rich historical and cultural heritage through over

one thousand architectural structures displaying a good example of Turkish

In 1994 Safranbolu was placed in the world Cultural Heritage list by UNESCO in

appreciation of the successful efforts in the preservation of its heritage as a whole.

Safranbolu deserved its fame for its typical houses. These traditional houses are

perfect examples of old civilian architecture, reflecting the Turkish social life of the

18th and 19th centuries. The size and the planning of the houses are deeply affected

by the large size of the families, in other words a total members of a big family living

together in one house. The impressive architecture of their roofs have led them to be

called as Houses with five façades. The houses are two or three storied consisting

of 6 to 9 rooms, each room is entirely detailed and have ample window space

allowing plenty of light. The delicate woodwork and carved wall and ceiling

decorations, the banisters indoor knobs etc. all come together to form an

unmatched harmony of architectural aesthetics and Turkish art.
