An architectural marvel, like lacework woven into the stone, nestled in the heart of Anatolia: the Divriği Grand Mosque. This structure, designated "unique" by UNESCO, is admired, while just a few kilometers away lies another world forgotten by time: Cürek. This settlement, once revitalized by mining, is now filled with silence: abandoned houses, rusted rails, and a sense of Chernobyl, where human intervention has been withdrawn… And Divriği Mansions, Cumhuriyet Primary School… In short, a journey to Divriği, the shining star of the 1980s…
In this video, you will witness both the pinnacle of human endeavor and the striking traces of abandonment. As we trace the past from Divriği Cumhuriyet Primary School, we tell the story of a civilization etched in stone and a vanished neighborhood.
On the one hand, admiration, on the other, sadness. Two contrasting stories of Divriği, in a single video.
