Bartın, Provincial capital in northern Turkey

Located 14 kilometers from the Black Sea coast, Bartın extends along both banks of the Bartın River among forested hills and valleys.

The settlement originated as Parthenios in 1200 BCE, subsequently governed by multiple civilizations including Hittites, Phrygians, Romans, and Byzantines until Ottoman rule in 1392.

The traditional wooden houses of Bartın display architectural elements from the Ottoman period with decorative facades and intricate wooden carvings.

The Bartın River serves as Turkey's sole waterway permitting commercial vessel navigation between the city center and the Black Sea.

The underground remnants of the ancient city contain numerous structures including a forum, council palace, theater, and necropolis beneath modern streets.
