Usak
The historical background goes back to 5000 BC. This province, is situated at
the inner side of Western Anatolia. Being closer to the central region, rather
than the Aegean, a typical continental climate prevails in the area. The most
distinct characteristic of the city is its location, constituting a pathway
between four different regions of Turkey, namely the Marmara, Aegean, Central
Anatolian and the Mediterranean regions.
As such a binding point, the province witnessed the earliest civilizations which
have passed by, and left their signs in every corner of the land. From the
Lydians to the Persians, from the Romans to the Ottomans, Usak had been ruled by
many invaders, and the remains of those ancient times are found in various
districts. There is an archaeological museum in the province, which holds the
finds from the area, and is worth a visit for those who are interested.
