A dilapidated Ottoman-style house in Antalya's Kalechi old town reveals the faded glory of a bygone era. The overhanging roof and wooden shutters illustrate the exquisite details, symmetry and decorative motifs that were once the hallmark of Ottoman architecture. Despite the disrepair, the house is a testament to the historical significance and cultural heritage of the Ottoman Empire. Efforts to preserve and restore these important cultural icons are ongoing to protect them for future generations.
