Özet:

Since the early times, the Ottoman Empire has become the center of interest of European travelers and artists. This interest increased further due to reasons such as the improvement in travel conditions in the late 18th and 19th centuries, the passion for Hellenism and the acceleration of archaeological research. In the early periods, the trips more focused on Istanbul began to slowly spread from the 18th century to regions such as the Egean, the Mediterranean and the Southeast, and in the 19th century it increased significantly. The place where travellers stand especially after Istanbul is the Ege Region. The towns and architecture of the region are described in long-term travel by travellers. These writings are accompanied visually in the gravures. When travellers tell the cities in their trips, the most standing building groups are the castles with defense structures. In the city of Ismael, the city of Ismael, the city of Ismael, the city of Ismael, the city of Ismael, the city of Ismael, the city of Ismael. These structures that don’t find an emphasis on the gravures as the stories are mostly addressed in the general city views and without entering in detail. In some examples, such as the Bodrum Castle, this situation has changed and a more detailed picture has gone. In view of showing our lost cultural values, the gravures carry a documentary character. Izmir's Kadifekalesi, Sancakkalesi and Port Castle, which was once one of the main stones of the port but cannot reach today, are among the interesting structures. We see the existence of this structure in the status of the symbol of Izmir. They are in this form of documents. Again, the same time Muğla-Bodrum Castle is another example that attracts attention with detailed portraits. The gravures processing the building also carry a proof value in terms of reflecting the arms that are not allowed to be taken abroad within the castle and therefore showing that they belong to these lands.
