This isn't just a building; it's a preserved Ottoman-era home that breathes history, centered around a serene courtyard that provides a cool, shaded respite. Inside, you'll find rooms arranged as they would have been for a wealthy Muslim family, filled with authentic furnishings that speak of daily life long ago. The atmosphere is incredibly intimate and peaceful, making it easy to imagine the soft sounds of family life echoing off the stone.
