Miniaturk - small Turkey
Here are some of the least known facts about the showcase of Turkey, the mini Turkey park.
Miniaturk is an amazing place on the bank of the Golden Horn gulf. It’s a huge park where all the historical monuments of Turkey are on display: from Troyan horse to Kappadokien plateau and Saint Sophia Cathedral. They are of a miniature size compared to original monuments. If compared to the height of a person, they look huge.
Not many people know that:
... the total area of the park is 100 square meters! The park is by the Golden Horn gulf. Here are 105 architectural models on display that were chosen in Turkey and abroad.
... all the miniature models displayed in park are made in a one-twenty-fifth scale model. Later the authorities plan to put on display about 400 miniature models...
