Ziya Gökalp Museumvisitor guide.

THERE IS NO YOU OR ME, THERE IS US Built in the 19th century, this residence represents one of the finest specimens of Diyarbakır civil architecture. Displaying distinct characteristics compared to typical Diyarbakır houses, this residence comprises three wings arranged around a central courtyard, constructed as ground plus single-story elevations. Adopting an unusual architectural arrangement, the pool typically placed in the center of the courtyard in traditional Diyarbakır houses is positioned inside the iwan here. It comprises haremlik (family) and selamlık (reception) quarters. Passing into Ziya Gökalp's family in 1824, Ziya Gökalp was born in this house in 1876. On March 23, 1956, the haremlik section was expropriated by the Special Provincial Administration and the selamlık by the Municipality; the haremlik quarter was curated by the Ministry of Culture and Tourism as the Ziya Gökalp Museum and opened to the public. WHILE YOU ARE HERE Visit Cahit Sıtkı Tarancı House and Ethnography Museum, explore Diyarbakır Grand Mosque (5th Holy Sanctuary of Islam), and enjoy breakfast at Hasan Pasha Han directly opposite. Tour Diyarbakır Archaeology Museum in the Citadel and visit Hz. Süleyman Mosque and the Tomb of the 27 Companions adjacent. Do not leave Diyarbakır without tasting authentic liver kebab.
