Karatay Municipality, which intends to resurrect the "Ancient Karatay" with its efforts to protect the historical heritage, does not give a break to its restoration projects.

Karatay Municipality, which desires to bring the historical richness of Karatay to the future, continues its restoration and rehabilitation works in Kerimdede Çeşme, Sarıyakup, and Aziziye Neighborhoods in this context. In addition to this, the project planning prepared in Akçeşme, Aziziye, and Nakipoğlu Neighborhoods has been completed.

MAYOR HASAN KILCA INSPECTED RESTORATION WORKS ON SITE

Hasan Kılca, the Mayor of Karatay, also inspected the restoration works of two historical buildings in Kerimdede Çeşme Neighborhood and Sarıyakup Neighbourhood, dated to the beginning of the 20th century on site.

Mayor Hasan Kılca, who obtained information about the restoration works of civil architectural examples of buildings, both of which are two-story, in plan type with an inner sofa and mainly made of mudbrick and wooden materials, stated that they considered the works aimed at preserving and conserving the historical and cultural heritage important.

KONYA ARCHITECTURE AND HOUSES ARE A GREAT WEALTH WITH THEIR UNIQUE STRUCTURE

Hasan Kilca said the following; “We are endeavoring to reveal the 'Ancient Karatay' with the works we have done in our Karatay. In this context, we believe that conserving the nature, historical texture, and culture of our district should be the focus of all work to be performed. We are working to preserve the texture of Karatay within the new projects and building culture, and to reach its natural beauty, history, and culture to large masses through promotional activities. In this context, we are resurrecting our two precious heritages, an example of civil architecture built at the beginning of the 20th century. We first expropriate our historical places specific to Konya's architecture, and then carefully restore them. Now we are carrying out the restoration works of our historical buildings in the Kerimde Çeşme and Sarıyakup Neighborhoods through our teams. We aim to conserve our history and this unique heritage and hand them down to the next generations. Because Konya's architecture and houses are a great wealth with their unique structure. We will continue to protect this wealth and carry them into the future.”
