Traditional Kuzguncuk Houses

The Traditional Kuzguncuk Houses are small epitomes of traditional Turkish house architecture, which are located in the Kuzguncuk district of Istanbul. Being traditional, they are famous for their ornate and showy timber detailing, vivid external color schemes, and warm, homely, classic interior decorations. The district itself is famous for its exquisitely preserved history, a mix between early 20th-century and Ottoman influences.
