HISTORY
*"The Jewel of the East: The Enchanting Blend of History and Modernity in Erzurum"*

At the heart of Erzurum stands the magnificent Yakutiye Medrese, a masterpiece of Seljuk stone craftsmanship that feels like an open-air art gallery. Built in 1310 during the Ilkhanate period, this medrese mesmerizes visitors with its intricate stone carvings and two-story arcades. The courtyard, adorned with a fountain, becomes a scene of pure enchantment when blanketed in winter snow, transporting you to a serene and mystical realm.

Nearby, the modest yet captivating mosque, covered in a delicate layer of snow, exudes an air of tranquility. The interplay of light and shadow on its stonework under the winter sun adds a timeless elegance, making it a serene retreat for reflection and worship.

A short walk away, Taşhan offers a journey not just through commerce but through time itself. This Ottoman-era caravanserai brims with small shops showcasing handcrafted jewelry and accessories made from Erzurum’s iconic black amber, *oltu taşı*. Watching skilled artisans at work here provides a glimpse into the city’s rich cultural heritage and a tangible connection to its past.

When you’re ready to explore Erzurum’s modern side, MNG Mall is the place to visit. Its contemporary design and wide array of shops and social spaces reflect the city’s evolving identity. Yet, even here, you sense Erzurum’s enduring character—a thoughtful blend of tradition and progress. In a way, the mall serves as a philosophical bridge, linking the stories of the past with the aspirations of the future.

Erzurum, with its historical depth, natural splendor, and vibrant modernity, captivates both the eye and the soul. Whether you're wandering the snow-draped streets or marveling at the timeless beauty of its landmarks, this city promises an unforgettable journey etched in memory.
