The works initiated by the Gümüşlük Municipality to restore the 300-year-old historical Ottoman mosque in Karakaya Village of Bodrum District of MUĞLA, and the ethnographic museum and country garden of the ruined village house in its garden, and to restore 15 houses built on Asar Hill to protect them from pirates in the past, have come to an end. Gümüşlük Municipality Council took a decision 5 years ago to implement the Urban Design Project in Karakaya Village, which has a history of 800 years. Environmental analyzes were carried out for approximately 60 historical houses and 300-year-old Ottoman mosque in Karakaya Köylü, and projects for the preservation of history began to be developed. Afterwards, an application was made to the Muğla Cultural and Natural Heritage Preservation Board for the necessary permits. The board gave the necessary permission for the restoration work 2 years ago. The works will last for two weeks. Cooperation with Izmir Institute of Technology, Faculty of Architecture was established. A group of graduate students led by Izmir Institute of Technology Architecture Faculty, Restoration Department Instructor Figen Akpınar and Research Assistant Çağlayan Deniz started a two-week study in the region within the scope of the “Karakaya Village Historical Environment Protection Project”. It was stated that after the completion of the studies, the project would be implemented and completed within a year. Mayor of Gümüşlük, Mehmet Ülküm, from CHP, said, “The project, which will bring to light all the unknowns of the history of Karakaya and Bodrum, will lead attraction of tourists to the region.”
