Photo Archive

A village's memory is held above all in photographs. This page brings together frames from old albums and the village as it is today. The empty frames will fill with the photos you share.

Historic Frames

Old Albums

Photographs from the village's past — weddings, harvest, school, the neighbourhood... Your old frames can live on here.

Buildings and Today

Frames from the Village

The surviving historic buildings and Ulukale today. The abandoned old village takes on a different beauty each season.

Photographs are compiled from academic publications and national press (AA, Hürriyet, Haber7, NTV, Culture Portal, İstanbul Haber); the source is noted beneath each image. Copyright belongs to the sources; if a rights holder requests removal, please contact us and we will remove it promptly.

The photograph in your chest belongs to this archive

Even a single frame of the village can be scanned and kept here. A photo taken on a phone is as valuable as a 50-year-old black-and-white one.
