Historic Tarsus Houses (Old Tarsus)
Tarsus, Mersin
A historic neighborhood fabric of restored 19th-century stone houses around St. Paul's Well.
Its story
In the town's old neighborhoods, houses of cut stone with bay windows and courtyards reflect Tarsus life in the late Ottoman period. After comprehensive restoration work, a large part of the streets has been made pedestrian-friendly, and some of the houses are used as cafés, boutique hotels and cultural venues. The narrow streets make for an enjoyable walk between St. Paul's Well and the Ancient Road.
