Religious & Spiritual Sites

This collection spans the diverse spiritual heritage of the Çanakkale region, from the 14th-century Murathüdavendigar Mosque in Assos to the 19th-century Church of the Virgin Mary on Bozcaada. It includes the Gelibolu Mevlevihanesi, one of the world's largest Sufi lodges, and significant memorial sites like the Sargıyeri Şehitliği and the tomb of nationalist poet Namık Kemal. These sites reflect the intersection of Ottoman architecture, Sufi traditions, and the solemn military history of the Gallipoli Peninsula.
