Diyarbakır Ziya Gökalp Museum

Ziya Gökalp Museum is the house where sociologist and writer Ziya Gökalp was born in 1876. It was built in 1806 with two floors of basalt stone. Gökalp's family moved to this house in 1824. The house was converted into a museum in 1956. There are belongings and documents of Ziya Gökalp in the museum. An introverted architectural plan, which is frequently encountered in the region, also draws attention in this building: The parts of the house are placed around the inner courtyard in the middle. It is possible to see an example of the iwan with a pool in Diyarbakır houses.
