Miniatürk, Miniature park on Golden Horn, Istanbul, Turkey

The park displays over 100 detailed scale models of historical structures at 1:25 size across 60,000 square meters of landscaped grounds.

Established in 2003, Miniatürk emerged from a 22-month construction project that set records for the rapid development of a miniature park.

The collection includes 59 architectural replicas from Istanbul, 55 from Anatolia, and 12 from former Ottoman territories, representing 3,000 years of history.

Located at Örnektepe Mahallesi in Sütlüce district, the park opens daily from 9:00 AM to 7:00 PM with an entrance fee of 620 Turkish Lira.

The Crystal Istanbul Museum section employs laser technology to create three-dimensional representations of 16 architectural landmarks.
