Eskişehir, University city in northwestern Turkey
Eskişehir extends along both banks of the Porsuk River at 788 meters elevation, with modern districts in the lowlands and residential areas on higher ground.
The settlement originated near ancient Dorylaeum and gained prominence under Byzantine rule, later experiencing substantial growth after the railway arrival in the late 1800s.
The Odunpazarı district presents traditional Ottoman architecture with wooden houses, while multiple universities contribute to the educational environment of the region.
The city maintains an efficient transportation system connecting Istanbul and Ankara through railway junctions, complemented by local tram services and bike-sharing facilities.
Eskişehir remains the principal source of meerschaum, a mineral used in crafting pipes, contributing to both local industry and artisanal production.
