Cappadocia ~ Ortahisar Abandoned Homes

This ancient land was once part of the silk road linking the Orient with Europe via Istanbul. As a result merchants, scholars and tradespeople, often of different faith lived here in harmony for generations. Today the people are less homogeneous and the homes of the wealthy have fallen into disuse and disrepair.

There are many examples, such as this to be found in the region.
