Söğüt, Historical capital in Bilecik Province, Turkey
The town stretches across a valley surrounded by hills, featuring traditional stone buildings and narrow streets that lead to a central marketplace.
The settlement transformed from a small village into the first capital of the Ottoman Empire under Osman I's leadership between 1281 and 1326.
The Ertuğrul Gazi Monument and tomb complex demonstrate the deep connection between Söğüt and the founding principles of Ottoman leadership.
Regular minibuses connect Söğüt with Eskişehir, making the historical sites accessible for visitors throughout the year from 8:00 AM to 5:00 PM.
The annual Rice Festival in September brings together representatives from Turkic nations to commemorate Ertuğrul Gazi near his memorial complex.
