"Odunpazarı Historical City Site", with outstanding examples of Seljuk and Ottoman monumental and civil architecture, has characteristics equivalent to Safranbolu, which is still on UNESCO's World Heritage list. en-us 2017-05-29 05:24:52 UTC 2023-03-03 07:12:50 UTC hello@padlet.com Comparison with other similar propertiesWith outstanding examples of Seljuk and Ottoman monumental and civil architecture, “Odunpazari Historical Urban Site” has equivalent features with Safranbolu, which is still in UNESCO’s World Heritage List of Turkey. Moreover, districts of Cumalikizik and Beypazari also share similar characteristics with Odunpazari which they still carry today. However, Odunpazari is very much associated with and shaped by Mevlevism and one cannot find elements of religious life in others as much as in Odunpazari. On the other side, Konya, which can be regarded as the capital for Mevlevism and the city hosting the tomb of Rumi, does not bear a testimony to Ottoman monumental and civil architecture to the extent observed in Odunpazari. fgoziop https://padlet.com/fgoziop/9xempbsl9a7y/wish/174194108 EFFL, Turkey, ÖYKÜ ÖZDEMİR, ZEYNEP UĞURLUEL

It still exhibits the structure of traditional Turkish neighborhood with the people living in and with civil architectures in a good state of conservation. However, following the industrial developments in 1950s, the site was very much affected by migration to other parts of the city and also by inappropriate improvements within historical urban fabric; also little modifications have occurred to interior usages and segmentations of the houses.Monuments, on the other hand, still keep their original functions and specialties. Kursunlu Mosque Complex, particularly, has still being used as a Mevlevihâne, religion and education lodge used by Mevlevi dervishes, since its foundation in 1525.The area was registered as a “Historical and Urban Conservation Site” to be conserved by the decision of Superior Council of Immovable Antiquities and Monuments dated 1981 and then as “Urban Conservation Site” by the decision taken in 1986. The areas in which the traditional fabric is deteriorated or not reflecting the historical characteristics as much as the others were left outside the conservation boundary but defined within the buffer zone due to their harmony with the urban site.The first implementation plan of Historical Odunpazari Area was produced in 1956. Because of not being an “urban conservation site” at that time, the plan had the characteristics of a tentative plan and decisions regarding the height of storey were taken in line with the road widths which caused a passive conservation in the site. The first conservation plan after the registration was prepared in 1988 and approved by Konya Council for Conservation of Cultural and Natural Heritage, while the later one was approved by Eskisehir Council for Conservation of Cultural and Natural Heritage in 1997. Revisions on “Odunpazari Historical Urban Site Conservation Plan” to meet various urban needs in accordance with today’s protection principals were approved by the decision of Eskisehir Council for Conservation of Cultural and Natural Heritage dated 27.04.2011. fgoziop https://padlet.com/fgoziop/9xempbsl9a7y/wish/174194124 http://whc.unesco.org/en/tentativelists/5733/]]> 2017-05-29 05:32:59 UTC https://padlet.com/fgoziop/9xempbsl9a7y/wish/174194124 Statements of authenticity and/or integrityThe attributes carrying the Outstanding Universal Value are mostly present within the site.

The average slope of terrain is up to %25. This feature differentiates Odunpazari from the rest of the city’s flat terrain.The nominated site is located within the boundaries of Odunpazari District, covering an area of 268.728 m² with 226.845 m² buffer zone.Odunpazari has historical indications from the periods of Seljuk, Ottoman and Turkish Republic; such as Alaaddin Mosque (1271), Kursunlu Mosque Complex (1525), Haci Hasan Mosque (13th century) etc. Being one of the few religious centers of Anatolia, the Kursunlu Mosque Complex located at the centre of the site and built by Palace Architect Acem Ali has a basic characteristic of Ottoman architecture. The complex today includes Eskisehir Handicraft Center where almost extinct traditional handicrafts -such as hand writing, gilding, marbling, miniature and reed flute- are performed through master-apprentice system. The complex also includes the world’s only Meerschaum Museum where the most beautiful examples of Turkish and foreign meerschaum artists are exhibited.The konaks, historical residences that constitute very special examples of traditional civil architecture, express the family life and traditions of the time. Fountains are also other important urban elements that regulate and shape the traditional patterns of Turkish neighborhoods and social relationships. fgoziop https://padlet.com/fgoziop/9xempbsl9a7y/wish/174194177 http://whc.unesco.org/en/tentativelists/5733/]]> 2017-05-29 05:34:04 UTC https://padlet.com/fgoziop/9xempbsl9a7y/wish/174194177 DescriptionDuring the Dorylaion war in 1097, I.
