Sülüklü Inn, Historical inn in Sur, Turkey
The Sülüklü Inn is a historical building in Sur featuring thick stone walls, spacious courtyards, and a central well that supplied water to the structure. The layout reflects traditional Ottoman design patterns used for commercial establishments during that era.
The inn was established in 1683 by Hanilioglu Mahmut Celebi and his sister Atike Hatun. It later functioned as a cavalry barracks during the Turkish War of Independence.
The inn serves as a gathering place where locals and guests sit together over Turkish coffee and conversation. It remains a living space where traditional daily practices unfold naturally before visitors' eyes.
The inn welcomes visitors daily and offers cafe services alongside the chance to explore its historical spaces. The courtyards provide comfortable places to rest and observe the structure while enjoying refreshments.
The inn takes its name from medicinal leeches that were historically collected from its central well for traditional healing practices. This unusual connection reveals how the building once served local medical traditions beyond its role as a trading post.
