Women from Kula Traveled to the History of Manisa

With the "Let's Women Come to Manisa" project, which was prepared and implemented under the leadership of Manisa Metropolitan Municipality Mayor Cengiz Ergün in 2013, women living throughout the province both learn about the history of the ancient city and have the opportunity to quench their longing by visiting every corner of the city. Within the scope of this project, which has allowed thousands of citizens to get to know Manisa more closely since its inception, 82 women from Kula visited the ancient city and received information about the artifacts. The group was hosted by Manisa Metropolitan Municipality Social Services Department Head Sibel Alkın Kedersiz, accompanied by Social Services Department officials and a guide. After introducing the first stop, Şehzadeler Park, women from Kula went to the Sultan Mosque complex and listened to the information about the Medical History Museum and the Sultan Mosque. Subsequently, Muradiye Mosque, the only work of Mimar Sinan in the Aegean Region, was visited. By going to Mevlevihane, we learned about the place of the building in history and enjoyed the view resulting from its location. The women of Kula, who listened to the mythological story of Niobe at the Crying Rock, took a break at the Ladies Family Tea Garden after being hosted at the MASKİ General Directorate cafeteria for lunch. Finally, the group from Kula visited the Çanakkale Martyrs' Monument, Atatürk Exhibition Hall, Atatürk Youth Center and Atatürk City Park, which were brought to the city by Manisa Metropolitan Municipality, and ended the tour here.

Women from Kula expressed their satisfaction by thanking Manisa Metropolitan Municipality and Mayor Cengiz Ergün for contributing to the organization of this project by allowing them to get to know Manisa, the ancient city that was the cradle of the princes, better.
