Museums: Muratli
Located on the left side at the entrance to Alcitepe, this museum is the oldest and most comprehensive museum in the region. Salim Mutlu, the son of an immigrant family, began collecting objects related to the war in the fields and surrounding villages while working as a grocer. Over time, he transformed this passion into a museum in a corner of his grocery store and later in his home.
The museum was established to tell the history of the grapevine in these lands, a plant that best teaches humanity that civilization should not dominate nature, but rather live in harmony with it and respect it.
The Gallipoli Castle, whose ruins can be seen on the coast today, was built in 711 to protect Gallipoli during the Arab raids that lasted from 681 to 717 in the Byzantine period. It was later repaired during the Ottoman period. It houses the Piri Reis Museum. The museum contains busts, paintings, and maps depicting the famous navigator, who is known to have been from Gallipoli.
