Icherisheher is a home to a wide variety of handicrafts, such as pottery, metal and glassware. With its triple row of fortress walls and Maiden Tower, the city was built to defend with the help of its labyrinth of lanes. Enemy troops who stormed Icherisheher did not survive long before getting lost in this real-life stone trap.

Within these walls we can catch a glimpse of what life was like through the eyes of our ancestors.
