Cumal\u0131k\u0131z\u0131k is a village in the Y\u0131ld\u0131r\u0131m district of Bursa
Province, located 10 kilometers east of the city of Bursa, at the
foot of Mount Uluda\u011f.[1] Its
history goes back to the Ottoman
Empire's foundation period. The village is now included within the
border of the Y\u0131ld\u0131r\u0131m district as a neighbourhood.
Cumal\u0131k\u0131z\u0131k was founded as a vak\u0131f village. The historical texture of the
village has been well protected and the civilian countryside architectural
structures of the early Ottoman period
are still intact. Because of this, Cumal\u0131k\u0131z\u0131k has become a popular but still
unspoiled center for tourists
A group of similar villages which are placed close together between the
foot of mount Uluda\u011f and the valleys have been called K\u0131z\u0131k in
Turkish. The name stands for one of the twenty-four clans of the Oghuz
Turks and the people from the villages also called K\u0131z\u0131k.
Similar villages, less well preserved, are De\u011firmenlik\u0131z\u0131k, Derek\u0131z\u0131k, and
Hamaml\u0131k\u0131z\u0131k (see K\u0131z\u0131k for other places named K\u0131z\u0131k in Turkey).
Hamaml\u0131k\u0131z\u0131k was the village of the local baths (hamam), and Cumal\u0131k\u0131z\u0131k was
named because people gathered there on Friday (Cuma, in Turkish) for worship.
The Cumal\u0131k\u0131z\u0131k ethnography museum in the village's square displays
historical objects from the village. Every June there is a raspberry festival.
The famous Cumal\u0131k\u0131z\u0131k houses are made out of wood, adobe, rubblestones.
Most of them are triplex houses. The windows upstairs are
generally latticed and with a bay
window. The handles and knockers on the main entry doors are made
of wrought iron. Cobblestone streets are very narrow
with no sidewalks, but a typical medieval gutter in the center for rain and
waste water.
A mosque, the fountain of 'Zekiye Hatun' next to the
mosque and a bath with one dome are original from the Ottoman Empire. Also
there is a ruin of a church built by Byzantines.
Cumal\u0131k\u0131z\u0131k holds 270 historical houses. Some of these houses
are in process of restoration and maintenance, and 180 of them are still being
used as dwellings.
In 1969, the remains of a Byzantine church were unearthed
southeast of the village in the foothills of Mt. Uluda\u011f. Some architectural
works are on display in the Archeological Museum of Bursa. Movies and
television programs with historical settings have often been recorded in
Cumal\u0131k\u0131z\u0131k.
