Bursa and Cumalıkızık: the Birth of the Ottoman Empire
Cumalıkızık
Bursa, as the first capital of Ottoman Empire located on the north western slopes of Uludag Mountain, and Cumalıkızık founded as a village during the same period, were inscribed on the UNESCO World Heritage List in 2014.
Cumalıkızık, which is the best preserved village in Bursa, representing a unique city planning methodology, has brought its outstanding examples of civil architecture and traditional rural life style to the present.
The economic relations of Cumalıkızık and other foundation village around with the caravanserais and kulliyes in the city center of Bursa, the capital, has made a significant contribution to Ottoman's transformation from a principality to an empire with all its institutions.
A group of similar villages which are placed close together between the foot of mount Uludağ and the valleys have been called Kızık in Turkish. The name stands for one of the twenty-four clans of the Oghuz Turks and the people from the villages also called Kızık.
The Cumalıkızık ethnography museum in the village's square displays historical objects from the village. Every June there is a raspberry festival. The famous Cumalıkızık houses are made out of wood, adobe, rubblestones. Most of them are triplex houses. The windows upstairs are generally latticed and with a bay window. The handles and knockers on the main entry doors are made of wrought iron. Cobblestone streets are very narrow with no sidewalks, but a typical medieval gutter in the center for rain and waste water.Cumalıkızık holds 270 historical houses. Some of these houses are in process of restoration and maintenance, and 180 of them are still being used as dwellings.
