KNOWLEDGE OF Kayseri
Kayseri is an industrialized city in Turkey that is famous for Mount Erciyes. It is the capital of Kayseri Province. The city's population is around 700,000 whereas the population of the Kayseri Province is close to 1,100,000. Home of the pastirma, most Westerners arrive in Kayseri en-route to the tourist attractions of Cappadocia.
Kayseri lies on what was the Great Silk Road, and as such has a large amount of Islamic history, including a castle, tombs and Madrassas (ancient Islamic Universities). Most of the historical buildings such as Hunad Hatun complex, Kilicarslan mosque, The Grand Mosque and Gevher Nesibe asylum belong to the Seljukid Era, for the city was one of the most important towns in Anatolia during the Seljukid rule. The Grand Bazaar dates from the latter part of the 1800's, but the adjacent Caravanserai (where merchant traders gathered before forming a caravan) dates from around 1500. The city is famous for carpets, and a range of carpets and rugs can be purchased reasonably ranging from new to 50 or more years old.
For its earliest history, see Caesarea Mazaca.
Kayseri received remarkable public investments in the 1920s and 1930s. Sumer Bez Fabrikasi and Kayseri Tayyare Fabrikasi, which are still in operation, were established during the early Republican Era with the help of German and particlarly Russian experts. During the multi party era the city suffered from a decrease in the amount of public investment, although Kayseri Seker Fabrikasi was established in 1955. It was, however, in those years that local businessmen and merchants transformed into country-wide capitalists. Families such as Sabanci, Has, Dedeman and Ozilhan who started out as small-scale merchants in the city of Kayseri became prominent actors in the Turkish economy. However, these families soon transferred their headquarters to major cities such as Istanbul and Adana. Thanks to the economic liberalization policy that was introduced by Turgut Ozal in the 1980s, a new wave of merchants and industrialists from Kayseri joined their predecessors from the 1950s and 1960s. These new industrialists, however, mostly chose Kayseri as their base of operation. Hasyuncu, Boydak and Altop are among the families who expanded their business in the 1980s and 1990s. As a consequence of the infrastructural ameloriation, the city has achieved a remarkable industrial growth since 2000.
