Miniatürk | The Showcase of Turkey

Opened in 2003 by Istanbul Metropolitan Municipality’s Kültür A.Ş., Miniatürk brings together Turkey’s rich architectural heritage under the motto “A Small Model of a Great Country.”

Spread across 60,000 m², the park features 1:25 scale models of 139 iconic structures—62 from Istanbul, 64 from Anatolia, and 13 from former Ottoman territories now outside modern Turkey’s borders. From Ancient civilizations to the Ottoman Empire, Miniatürk reflects the legacy of all the cultures that have shaped Anatolia. The site also includes miniature representations of two of the Seven Wonders of the Ancient World: the Temple of Artemis and the Mausoleum at Halicarnassus.

With a multilingual audio guide mobile app, open-air event spaces, children’s play areas, and the interactive Miniatek zone, Miniatürk offers an educational and enjoyable experience for all ages.

As one of the top destinations for both local and international visitors, Miniatürk is an ideal stop for those wishing to embark on a captivating journey through Turkey’s history and culture—all in a single park.
