**Safranbolu and Amasya are two historic cities in Turkey that are famous for their well-preserved traditional architecture. Both cities are designated as UNESCO World Heritage Sites for their outstanding examples of Ottoman-era architecture.

The city's historic center is made up of narrow, winding streets lined with houses and shops, many of which are constructed from a reddish-brown stone known as Safranbolu stone. This locally sourced stone gives the city's buildings a distinctive appearance, with their facades decorated with intricate wooden carvings, ornate balconies, and bay windows. One of the most famous buildings in Safranbolu is the Cinci Han, a beautiful Ottoman-era inn that dates back to the 17th century. The inn features a large central courtyard, surrounded by rooms that were used by travelers and merchants passing through the city.
