About My Post on Miniatürk

Photos of the miniatures are grouped in the region of the country or are of Istanbul in which they’re located. I’ll only provide labels without any detailed information. If I’ve visited the landmark in person and have written a post about it, I’ll add a link.

Some of the miniatures have changed between visits with features added or removed. A few of the miniatures are no longer on display at the park. Photos were taken during two separate visits in September 2011 and November 2019.
