Ethnological Museum
Tahir Bey Inn where the Ethnological Museum is located now introduces an old town house which belong to the second part of the 18th century. This house is also quite interesting in terms of preserving the archaic elements, where the interior is almost untouched, and as a result, the house is an object of cultural significance, both in architectural terms, and in ethnological terms. Additionally, in the museum, there are over 120 exhibits exposed that illustrate the culture and traditions of this country.
