Nasrullah Square – The Historic Heart of Kastamonu
Nasrullah Square has been at the center of Kastamonu's commercial, cultural and social life for centuries. The mosque and complex, built by Kadı Nasrullah in 1506, is a historic place of memory where Mehmet Akif Ersoy delivered his Sebilürreşad sermons during the War of Independence.
With its monumental fountain featuring an octagonal marble pool and its cut-stone porticoes, it is one of the most distinctive representatives of the Anatolian city square identity. The photographs document the square's historic fabric, its play of light and shadow, and the rhythm of everyday life.
