Its story
Birgi, at the foot of the Bozdağlar, developed in the 14th century as the first capital of the Aydınoğulları Beylik. The Ulu Mosque, Çakırağa Mansion, the Tomb of İmam Birgivi and historic hammams are close to one another along its narrow streets. Coffeehouses under centuries-old plane trees and wooden houses by the stream give the town a distinctive atmosphere. Birgi has joined the international Cittaslow (slow city) network.
