Safranbolu is a district and a town of Karabük Province in the Black Sea region of Turkey. Its location can be roughly described as about two hundred kilometers north of Ankara and about a hundred kilometers south of the Black Sea coast, or more precisely as about 9 kilometers north of the city of Karabük. Former Turkish names of her were Zalifre and Taraklıborlu.

The Old Town preserves many old buildings, with 1008 registered historical artifacts. These are: 1 private museum, 25 mosques, 5 tombs, 8 historical fountains, 5 Turkish baths, 3 caravanserais, 1 historical clock tower, 1 sundial and hundreds of houses and mansions. Also there are mounds of ancient settlements, rock tombs and historical bridges. The Old Town is situated in a deep ravine in a fairly dry area in the rain shadow of the mountains. The New Town can be found on the plateau about two kilometers west of the Old Town.
The name of the town derives from saffron, since Safranbolu was a trading place and a center for growing saffron.Today saffron is still alive at the village of Davutobası which is 22 km.east of Safranbolu and probably one of the best quality saffron at the world.

Safranbolu was added to the list of UNESCO World Heritage sites in 1994 due to its well-preserved Ottoman era houses and architecture.

Hi Sea,
Very good contribution to the theme this week. A very lovely place here full of details and colors. Nicely seen and composed. TFS Julie

Hello Sea,

A well chosen aspect.
I like the inclusion of the arch, the lead-in path and the building, set at an angle to the viewline.
The cat makes an important contribution to the scale and the focus.

Kind regards,
Bev :-)

Merhaba Ayhan,
The gate is certainly a nice way of framing the scene beyond. The walking cat as well as the textured walkway provide a good lead-in to the scene inside the compound. Well exposed and composed. Greetings. Danilo

Cat with a crooked tail! HAHA! This is beautiful Sea! Nice details, very nice to have this entrance framed on the shot. The cat is a funny addition, very interesting work here. I like stone walkway too!
