Isparta December 2013 4929.jpg

This is the Tarih ve Sanat (History and Arts) Park dating from 2012. History is present in the guise of famous people from the town, Arts (OR Crafts) were not very obvious, though there was a strong reference to the roses being grown in the region. Oh yes, there was also a kit of pigeons (the Peace variety, no doubt) taking flight from a tower.

Isparta is the world's largest producer of rose oil that made its name supplying rosewater to the Grand Mosque in Mecca. Amongst the other derived products of rose oil, one can mention: cosmetics (perfume, creams, serums, lotions, shampoo, bubble bath) and sweets (jam, lokum and helva, ice-cream, rose şerbet drink).
