Safranbolu and its historic architecture

Safranbolu is a town in the Black Sea region famous for its historic Ottoman-era houses and architecture and was inscribed on the UNESCO World Heritage list in 1994. I found a more recent picture taken from the same perspective, and it looks exactly as it did 20 years ago.

An abundance of color, posted earlier:

I like the way the houses aren't too crowded together, and look like spacious architecture for the interiors too.

So cool how uniform the architecture is with a healthy amount of greenery ! V

historic perhaps, yet certainly uniform....the minaret defines the culture to some degree..

The homes are all similar with the same roofs. Terrific image, Helen.
