Ziya Gökalp House Museum
Ziya Gökalp Museum is the house where sociologist and writer Ziya Gökalp was born in 1876. It was built in 1806 as two storeys of basalt stone. Gökalp's family moved to this house in 1824. The house was converted into a museum in 1956. There are belongings and documents belonging to Ziya Gökalp in the museum. An introverted architectural plan, which is frequently encountered in the region, draws attention in this building: Parts of the house are placed around the inner courtyard in the middle. It is possible to see an example of an iwan with a pool in Diyarbakır houses here as well.
