Hi, I'm GUL, I'll tell you the history of Kütahya.
Located in the Inner Western Anatolian Part of the Aegean Region, Kütahya has reached the Republic of Turkey with the Hittite, Phrygian, Roman, Byzantine, Seljuk, Germiyanoğulları and Ottoman civilizations in its known history. The oldest people who settled in the lands remaining within the borders of Kütahya province and whose name is known are the Hittites. Despite this, archaeological finds in the vicinity lead the settlement history of the province to much earlier,early ages.
The first settlement of our province is Kütahya castle and its surroundings. During the excavations carried out in the city center, which was also used during the Germianoğulları period, necropolis (cemetery) areas belonging to the Roman period were found.
EMEL ÇELİK/STUDENT:GÜL
However, no significant finds belonging to the Phrygian period have been found in the city center. The settlement area of Kütahya in the ancient period has not yet been determined definitively. The number of systematic excavations and research conducted in and around Kütahya to date is not very high. On behalf of the British Archaeological Institute, Clive Foss - Kütahya Castle, Epigraph Tomas Drew Bear - Inscriptions, David French - Roman Roads and Milestones, Assistant Professor from Istanbul University. Assoc. Dr. Turan Efe has researched Mounds and Tumuli from Ancient Settlements. Systematic excavations and researches initiated by the German Archaeological Institute in the Ancient City of Aizanoi have been ongoing since 1970.

A witness of thousands of years of history, the common heritage of humanity, one of the most beautiful ancient cities of Turkey with its magnificent structure that defies time, the Ancient City of Aizanoi… Aizanoi, founded on both sides of the Penkalas River (Big Tea), the city of the water fairy Erato, one of the daughters of Zeus, and Azan, the son of Arkas, the king of Arkadia, is the main settlement center of the Aizanitis, who live in Phrygia… Aizanoi is a unique city that speaks from the past to the future with its baths and bridges, from the most important temples of human history to the first stock exchange, from the colonnaded street to the stadium-theater complex where sports and art are intertwine.

hello Im Maria
Here Santeramo in Colle (Santeramo: Sanders) is a town in the Metropolitan City of Bari and region of Apulia, southern Italy.
Its current name comes from St Erasmus, martyr of the Diocletian era and patron saint of the city who, according to legend, is responsible for its founding.Let me introduce you to the famous Painter Leanardo Da Vinci:
Leonardo was born in 1452 in Vinci, Italy. He was not only a painter but also an inventor, scientist, and thinker. Leonardo’s curiosity covered almost every aspect of art and science. His paintings, like the Mona Lisa and The Last Supper, are world-
MARİA BENEDATTA LORUSSO STUDENT:MARİA
MARİA BENEDETTA LORUSSO/STUDENT:MARIA
renowned for their technique and depth of human expression.Besides painting, Leonardo was deeply interested in how things worked. He filled his notebooks with sketches and detailed diagrams of various subjects including human anatomy, flying machines, and botanical species. His approach to both art and science was based on observation and detailed realism.Leonardo’s life in Italy was a journey through various cities like Florence, Milan, and Rome where he worked under the patronage of dukes and popes.

Miracles of olive tree
Hi Guys we are Alex, Ana and Bruna and we will talk about a story, "the miracles of the olive tree", of Guimarães.
At the end of the Middle Ages was marked by the frequency of cataclysms that terrified the people: the sinister trilogy of famine, plague and war. Powerless in the face of the evils that invaded their daily lives, men turned to God, hoping to find protection from their afflictions in the supernatural. As evidence of this sense of medieval spirituality, where the marvellous and the fantastic had a very strong presence, new sanctuaries emerged, the cult of relics with protective and curative powers against the most diverse illnesses grew, and a new type of literature appeared in which miracles and prodigies associated with saints and sanctuaries were narrated.
Juliana Marlene Nogueira Freitas/STUDENT: Alexandre, Ana and Bruna
Juliana Marlene Nogueira Freitas/STUDENT: Alexandre, Ana and Bruna
In Guimarães, popular religiosity grew in the shadow of one of the symbolic marks of local identity: the olive tree, which is present in the history, traditions, imagination and beliefs of the people of Guimarães. The olive tree is present in the city's coat of arms and the Collegiate Church and the Main Square take their name from it.
Juliana Marlene Nogueira Freitas/STUDENT: Alexandre, Ana and Bruna
The tree mentioned here was brought, perhaps at the beginning of the 14th century, from the monastery of S. Torcato, where it provided oil with which to illuminate the saint. It was planted next to the Collegiate Church, where it ended up drying out. It would be associated with an impressive series of miracles that occurred in the short space of six months. The first would be its regrowth.

“O homem das duas caras”
Hi, we are Núria and Pedro and we gonna tell the story of “O homem das duas caras”. Located on the facade of the Old Town Hall, where it was placed in 1877, the sculpture represents a warrior who, according to tradition, symbolizes the city of Guimarães. The statue, which has two faces represented, is related to an episode from the 15th century, which tells that shortly after the conquest of Ceuta, Dom João I, fearing the counterattack of the Moroccans, divided the defense of the city walls into two parts, assigning one front (“face”) to the troops of Guimarães and the other to those of Barcelos. Legend has it that when Barcelos' men saw the enemy they soon fled, leaving the people of Guimarães to their own devices. Guimarães' troops were divided along two fronts (“two faces”), and thus managed to prevent the Moroccans from regaining control of the city of Ceuta.

The Castle of Guimarães
Long ago, in the heart of northern Portugal, there stood a magnificent castle perched upon a hill overlooking the town of Guimarães. The Castle of Guimarães was more than just a fortress; it was a symbol of the beginning of a nation. The year was 1128, and the land was divided. Portugal, as we know it today, did not yet exist. The kingdom was struggling, and the fate of the region rested in the hands of brave men and women. Among them was a young nobleman named Afonso Henriques, a man destined to change the course of history. Afonso was determined to free the land from foreign influence and to unite the scattered territories under one rule. With his loyal followers, he fortified Guimarães Castle, making it the center of his efforts. From the towering stone walls, Afonso could see the lush valleys below, where the local villagers worked the land and dreamed of a better future.
Cristina Dias and Juliana Freitas/STUDENT: Núria and Pedro
Afonso Henriques was hailed as the first King of Portugal, and Guimarães became the cradle of the nation.
Years passed, and the castle continued to stand as a proud reminder of that critical moment. The once humble fortress grew in stature, its towers reaching for the sky, just as Portugal’s influence grew across the lands.
Raquel Lara/STUDENT:
Flamenco, one of the non-academic European musical forms, is the name of Andalusian Folk Music and the dance performed with this music. Beyond being a simple folk genre, it has a complex and intense cultural tradition. Although it is known to be native to Spain, it is actually the culture of the Andalusia region.Flamenco dance is a musical genre shaped by the traditional folkloric music of Southern Spain and the contributions of gypsy culture. The combination of these two cultures has created the rich and dynamic structure of Flamenco. Dec. The combination of local folk music with the musical accumulation of gypsies, especially in the southern regions of Spain, has prepared the ground for the birth of this original music.
Raquel Lara/STUDENT:
Although flamenco spread among the public in its early Decadence, it did not receive much acceptance due to its strong ties with gypsy music. However, over time, with the influence of the depth and melodic structure of gypsy culture, this type of music has started to reach a wider audience. The development of dance has accelerated with the interaction between folk music and gypsy music, and it contains many different musical forms and traditional elements on its journey up to the present day. Dec.
Raquel Lara/STUDENT:
Today, Flamenco dance has become a recognized musical genre not only in Spain, but also worldwide. The emotional depth, rhythmic richness and expressive power combined with dance are the elements that make Flamenco unique. This music has gained a different dimension by blending with modern influences over time. However, gypsy music and folk music traces from their origins have always formed the basic building blocks of Flamenco.

Tomato Festival Spain
The main event of the tomato festival is that people have fun throwing tomatoes at each other for about 1 hour in the square of the town of Bunol. Participants who throw tomatoes at each other for an hour are covered in tomatoes from head to toe. August 30th, 2017, the Spanish tomato festival, which is held every year on Wednesday in the last week of August, was held on August 30th. The Spanish tomato festival was celebrated on Wednesday, August 29th in 2018.
Paula Portillo Mut/STUDENT:
When is the Tomato Festival Celebrated?
The tomato festival in Spain is a festival that originated in 1945. The festival, celebrated every year on the last Wednesday of August, is held in the town of Bunol, Valencia.On the morning of the festival day, everyone comes to the festival site by walking behind trucks for the tomato rain that will start at 11:00 after breakfast. The festival, which starts with people throwing tomatoes piled up on the field to each other, lasts about 2 hours.
Paula Portillo Mut/STUDENT:
From the moment the tomato war started, everyone is alone. Some participants throw themselves into this sea with snorkels and glasses, some with flippers on their feet, and the town of Buñol is covered with crimson joy during these 2 hours.
The festival has 2 very important rules. First of all, don't throw the tomatoes without crushing them, and secondly, don't throw anything but tomatoes, because we don't want anyone's head to get broken.

Borjomi (Georgian: ბორჯომი) is a renowned brand of naturally carbonated mineral water sourced from springs in the Borjomi Gorge, located in central Georgia. The artesian springs are replenished by glacial meltwater from the Bakuriani mountains, which filter through layers of volcanic rock at altitudes of up to 2,300 meters (7,500 feet). Rising to the surface naturally without the need for pumping, the water is then transported via pipelines to two bottling plants in the town of Borjomi, preserving its unique mineral composition and refreshing taste.

In recent years, the island of Ikaria has captured global attention as a paradise of longevity! The island is one of the five "Blue Zones" in the world, regions where people live long and healthy lives. The way of life on the island is a recipe for longevity, with key ingredients:
Diet: A Mediterranean diet rich in fresh vegetables, fruits, legumes, whole grains, and olive oil.
Physical Activity: Gardening, walking, and participating in community activities keep them active throughout the day.
Social Life: Family gatherings, traditional festivals, and lively conversations are integral parts of daily life.
Relaxation: Afternoon naps and a laid-back pace of life help manage stress and promote a sense of well-being.
Nikolaos Kiriazis/STUDENT: A.TZO.
The festivals of Ikaria are a unique experience for visitors to the island and are renowned worldwide. The history of Ikarian festivals dates back to the 1950s and 1960s. The challenges and isolation faced by the locals instilled in them a strong sense of solidarity and collectivism, a trait that remains unchanged to this day.
Festivals in Ikaria never stop; during major celebrations, there can be as many as 7 or 8 festivals happening simultaneously in different villages. However, the summer season is the time of highest participation.
No matter which festival one chooses to attend, it is certain they will find themselves dancing until dawn to the slow and mesmerizing Ikarian dance. Embraced by locals and visitors alike, participants form a circular path imbued with mystical, almost ecstatic dimensions that leave an indelible mark on memory.

Who hasn’t heard of the beach of Nas and the Chalaris River that flows into it, forming a small lagoon? It is one of the most famous spots on the island and offers a stunning sunset view.
In antiquity, this location was home to one of the most renowned sanctuaries dedicated to the worship of Artemis Tauropolos, built in the 6th century BCE. Inside the sanctuary stood a grand statue of the goddess, which has not survived as the temple was destroyed in the 18th–19th centuries.
Today, only the floor and foundations are visible, and next to the temple, on the riverbank, lie remnants of a harbor quay built by the locals in the 14th–15th centuries.

Serbia's rich cultural heritage is an important bridge for understanding European and world history. Traces of prehistoric culture in Lepenski Vir date back to 7000 BC, making this place stand out as the “cradle of Europe”.The remains of the subsequent Neolithic Starčevo and Vinča cultures show how vital the Danube River was for the communities of that period.
Dragan Zivkovic/STUDENT:
Serbia, located on the border of the Roman Empire, has been the scene of strategic wars for centuries. The ruins of the city and roads, which can still be seen today, bear traces of the Roman presence. In addition, the fact that 16 of the 52 Roman emperors were born on the territory of Serbia makes this a privileged region for Roman history. These Roman ruins are included in the cultural routes of the Council of Europe, and Felix Romuliana is included in the UNESCO World Heritage List.
Dragan Zivkovic/STUDENT:
During the Middle Ages, the cultural and spiritual life in Serbia developed in the churches. 12. from the 17th century. Orthodox monasteries built before the century are decorated with unique frescoes of the period and today hold an important place in the world cultural heritage.

My name is Raluca Balabeș, I am a 6th grade student at Secondary School No. 311, Bucharest, Romania. We will travel together through the history of our capitalThe first documentary mention of the Bucharest fortress is in a charter of Vlad Țepeș, lord of Wallachia (1448; 1456-1462; 1476), dated September 20, 1459.
The importance of the document of September 20, 1459 resides in the documentary attestation of the name of the city "Bucharest". Through this charter, written in the Slavonic language, ruler Vlad Țepeș strengthened the property of Andrei and his sons, Iova, Drag and a third, whose name has not been deciphered. The Lord of Wallachia issued several Chancery documents from Bucharest, which attests to the status of the city's royal residence. According to a document dated June 7, 1766, the city's name comes from a certain Bucur, who "was the first to beat the hair".
Smarandoiu Claudia /STUDENT:
The Bucur Church, built in a specific architectural style of the 18th century, is believed to have been originally built by the Bucur shepherd, from whom it would have taken its name and capital. The current name of the church appears for the first time on an old map of the city of Bucharest, dated 1844. According to several travelers and historians, Romanian and foreign, the church called "Bucur's" was built by the founder of the capital city. According to others, the church was built for the first time sometime in the 17th century, and then it was rebuilt at the beginning of the 18th century. Those who support the building of the church at the end of the 17th century, believe that it was built specifically to serve as a chapel for the monks of the Radu Voda Monastery. The hypothesis of its foundation by ruler Mircea cel Batran, in the year 1416, is also circulated.
In a manuscript from the year 1761, the Catholic missionary Blasius Kleiner mentions: "It is said that this town takes its name from a certain shepherd or, as others say, a famous outlaw, whose name was Bucur. He grazed his sheep in that plain on the edge of the Dambovita river and maybe that's where he made his outlaws. Later, he built a church and started building some houses for himself and others."

The History of Bozüyük
Written by Meryem Saygın and Ebrar Yıldırım from Fatih Sultan Mehmet İmam Hatip Middle School
Hello! We are Meryem Saygın and Ebrar Yıldırım, students at Fatih Sultan Mehmet İmam Hatip Middle School. In this project, we would like to share the history of Bozüyük, a small town in Turkey with a rich and interesting past.
Bozüyük’s History
Bozüyük is located in the Bilecik Province of Turkey. It has a very long history, going back thousands of years. Different civilizations have lived in the area, including the Phrygians, Romans, Byzantines, and Ottomans.
A long time ago, in the 8th century BC, the Phrygians settled in Bozüyük.
Tuğçe KORKUBİLMEZ /STUDENT:Meryem Saygın/ Ebrar Yıldırım
They were an ancient people known for their advanced culture. They built cities and made beautiful pottery. You can still find some of their artifacts in Bozüyük today.
Later, the Romans and Byzantines ruled the area. The Romans built roads and bridges that helped make Bozüyük an important place for trade. When the Byzantine Empire took over, the town continued to grow and develop.
In the 14th century, the Ottoman Empire took control of the area. During this time, Bozüyük became known for its agriculture and products, like textiles and pottery. The Ottomans built many important buildings that are still admired today.
Tuğçe KORKUBİLMEZ /STUDENT:
Bozüyük’s Location Near Istanbul
Bozüyük is also quite close to Istanbul, Turkey's largest and most famous city. Istanbul is about 140 kilometers (around 87 miles) away from Bozüyük. This makes it easy for people to travel between the two places. The distance is short enough for a quick drive or train ride, which helps connect Bozüyük to the big city’s economy and culture.
people from Bozüyük travel to Istanbul for business, education, or tourism, and vice versa.
Today, Bozüyük is a modern town, but it still has many reminders of its past. It is a mix of history and modern life, and its people continue to celebrate the town’s rich history and culture.We hope you enjoyed learning about Bozüyük's history!
