Urgup Things to Do: 42 reviews and 118 photos
The town has rather interesting city-center at the Central Square with the Mosque and the Clock Tower in the middle of it.
The marble fountains and inscriptions found on the streets and in the squares of Urgup were ordered by Damat Ibrahim Pasha.
The epitaphs on the fountains were written by various poets, and carved by prominent stone masons of Istanbul. Records from the 19th century mention 70 mosques, 5 churches and 11 libraries in Urgup. Examples of Seljuk and Ottoman architecture in Urgup are the "Alti Kapili Turbe" (tomb with 6 doors), the Kiliçarslan tomb, the Taskin Pasa Medrese, and the mosque and tomb in Taskinpasa village.
