Kayseri,
which has a history of 6000 years, is one of the oldest settlements in Anatolia.Part of the delight of Kayseri is that it centres
around its most beautiful old buildings, and that these still play an important
part in the everyday life of the town. The nature of buildings that have
survived bears witness to the social conscience of the early Muslims,
particularly of the Seljuks. Koranic teaching forbade excessive concern with
private houses, and very few of them have survived. Instead
the buildings of real note in the city are those
which served public welfare and communal activities, especially exemplified in
mosque complexes that included schools, soup kitchens and hamams.Other buildings
still integral to Kayseri’s life are the covered markets, where commercial
activity - as conspicuous now as it was for the first Assyrian settlement - is
most obvious. The Ulucami or Great Mosque is constructed under the Danişment
Turkish emirs in the first half of the 13th century. The mosque, which can be
entered from three sides, is still remarkably good condition.
The best known of the mausoleums in Kayseri is the Döner Kümbet, a typical
example probably dating to around 1275, built for Şah Cihan Hatun. Mysteriously
the name of the monument means turning tomb, although it doesn’t turn and
never has.
The tomb is decorated with arabesques and palmetters, and a tree of life with
twin-headed eagles and lions beneath.Erciyes,one of the most important centers
for winter sports and mountaineering,is 30 km to the south of Kayseri.The skirun
is one of the best in the world.
Mt.Erciyes,which is 3916 m high,is also famous for its nice snow
appropriate for skiing.The mountain,which is the highest in central Anatolia,is
in a position to be the center for international winter sports.Recently,modern
hotels have been built on top of Erciyes that has suitable ski-runs for skiing
and lanes for mountaineering.
Furthermore,there is a large cafeteria.In addition to these facilities that
serve 24 hours,road are always kept ploughed for transport.
