Semaki Evi

 
This restored 16th century town house in Davutoglu Sokagi (in the town center) has been turned into a museum. As well as the old open balcony (now glazed for greater protection) it has a divan room and two living-rooms with painted, ornamented coffered ceilings, chimneys with pointed hoods, and decorated alcove cupboards.

Outside the town, on a long-settled hill in what is now the Baba Sultan Parki, stand the remains of a convent which, until 1920, belonged to the Kadri dervishes, itinerant monks commonly revered as "saints". One of their number, "Baba Sultan", commandeered the convent mosque for his tomb. Although converted back into a mosque, none of the Moslem faithful will worship there today.
