Its old town Icherisheher is a walled UNESCO World Heritage site.
The land of fire, where natural gas has burned for centuries.

The old world
1900 — 1930

1950 — 1965
Cafés reopen, boulevards fill again, and the city learns to celebrate in public.

Cassette shops, bright signage, crowded buses and the first skyline cranes.
Chapter 4
Millennium

2011 — 2020
