Eskişehir Province

Eskişehir spans across the Porsuk River at 792 meters elevation, divided into industrial areas in lower grounds and residential districts in higher terrain.

The region originated as a Phrygian settlement in 1000 BC, later known as Dorylaeum during Roman times and transformed through Byzantine and Ottoman periods.

Three universities, including Anadolu University, shape the educational environment of Eskişehir, bringing together students from different regions of Turkey.

The central train station connects Istanbul to Ankara through regular services, while an efficient tram network facilitates movement within the city limits.

Local artisans maintain the tradition of meerschaum carving, crafting pipes and decorative items from this mineral extracted from nearby deposits.
