Vici.org

Roman base: Possibly dating to Byzantium or Constantinople, it may have once belonged to ancient walls or major civic structures, reminding us of the city's deep antiquity.
Byzantine or Ottoman arches: As the city transformed, new architecture was added over old foundations. The arches may come from Ottoman public structures like baths, caravanserais, or elegant homes.
1920s Turkish Republic house: This final architectural layer reflects a new era — one of modest, functional design shaped by modern reforms after the Ottoman decline.
