Siirt House visit 1550

view map

I saw a nice old house and took its picture, then noticed a door to an inner court was opened and peek in. Kids spotted me, their mother joined them (not in the pictures), and soon I was having tea with this kind family.

They explained the house was cool in summer and nicely hot in winter, partly due to its structure. The room reminded me a bit of the houses one sees in Harran.

quite strange architecture for secular purposes.
