Kütahya, Ancient ceramic center in Aegean Region, Turkey
The city stretches along the Porsuk River at 970 meters elevation, surrounded by agricultural lands and mountain ridges in western Turkey.
The settlement dates back to 3000 BC, transitioning through Phrygian, Roman, and Byzantine control before becoming an Ottoman territory in 1429.
The local ceramic industry developed in the 14th century, with dedicated workshops producing tiles and faience for structures across the Ottoman Empire.
The regional economy relies on ceramics manufacturing, sugar refining, tanning industries, and the extraction of meerschaum from local mines.
Kütahya maintains traditional Ottoman architectural elements with numerous historical mosques, including Ulu Camii, Cinili Camii, and Balikli Camii.
