These houses were built on the Tepebag mound-in Adana. This settlement within the walls of Adana preserved its culture for hundreds of years.
The new city period began with the building of Ramazanoglu Halil Bey's mansion in 1495.
During this period the Tepebag neighborhood was founded. It was developed during the new building period starting with the construction of the Green Mescit (Mosque) in 1752.
For this reason, most of the houses in the neighborhood are from the 18th century.
When Inonu Street was opened, neoclassical houses began to be built. When you come through the wide double doors off the narrow cobblestone streets into the courtyard, you experience hundreds of years of enchanting culture.
The cobblestone streets of Adana have made their way into the folk songs:
ADANALI
Adana's streets are made of stone You have captivated me completelyand stolen me from my mother and brother
Oh man from Adana,
sweetheart from Adana
I'm in love with you dark young man
