Kütahya

This began construction under Beyazıt the Thunderbolt and was completed in 1401, and rebuilt in the late 19th century. It's a spacious, mostly simple interior, but with elegant tiles around the mihrab.

This was built in the 14th century as a lodge for the Mevlevi - the "whirling dervishes" - and later converted into a mosque.

This is housed in a former madrasah built in 1314. It exhibits findings from the neolithic to the Byzantine era - the most impressive is the richly decorated marble sarcophagus from Aizanoi. There are also Byzantine gravestones, coins, earthen pots and amphorae.

Tile museum, in what was the soup-kitchen associated with the mosque. Attractive work, some medieval (including the tomb of the founder, Yakup Çelebi) but much is modern.

Lajos Kossuth became leader of Hungary in the 1840s, but his bid for independence from Austria was defeated after the Russians marched in, and he fled into exile. He lived in this mansion 1850 / 1851, later living in the US, Britain and Italy. The two-storey wooden mansion has been restored to period and displays his life and times.

This is in an ancient hamam. It displays minerals and is mostly about Turkey's mining industry.

Looming high on an outcrop west of the old town, these ramparts had several phases of construction, starting under the Byzantines, and with a major upgrade in the 15th century. And then there's the crowning glory, the oh-so-1970s Döner Gazino, complete with revolving restaurant. At least this ensures plenty of parking if you drive up rather than take the steep walk.

This was built in 1973 in a Central Asian style, with deep blue / turquoise tiles covering all its exterior walls, dome and minaret. It's been closed for restoration for some years, with no completion date in sight.
