Heritage
The old residences located in the Belenozu village were built using local limestone and constitute original examples of civil architecture in Polateli. Bearing the architectural traces of Southeastern Anatolia, the houses are worth examining for the history of architecture in Türkiye.
Containing clues about the history of settled life in the region, these structures are under protection and are among the spots aimed to be brought into Kilis tourism.
