Building in Turkey is a topic of great importance today – for investors, architects and all those who value quality and safety.
The country combines a building tradition dating back over 11,000 years with modern building regulations and state control.
🏛️ Building in Turkey – one of the oldest building traditions in the world
Turkey’s architectural history goes back further than that of many other cultures.
A world-famous example lies in the southeast of the country: Göbekli Tepe – the oldest known temple complex of humanity.
It was already over 11,000 years built – thousands of years before the Egyptian pyramids or Stonehenge.
Göbekli Tepe was discovered in 1994 by the German archaeologist Klaus Schmidt. Today the facility is part of the UNESCO World Heritage Site and is considered a turning point in the history of architectural culture.
