Blaundos Antique City in Oushak Turkey

How History Shapes our Angora Oushaks?

Nestled in western Turkey, the town of Oushak (also known as Usak or Ushak) is a destination rich in cultural heritage, stunning landscapes, and remarkable craftsmanship. While many know Oushak for its world-renowned rugs, the region offers a combination of breathtaking natural beauty and historical landmarks visitors shouldn't miss. Let's check out the treasures of Oushak and how they connect to the artistry behind our authentic Angora Oushak rugs.


1. Ulubey Canyon: A Natural Wonder of Turkey

Regarded as one of the longest canyons in the world, Ulubey Canyon is a breathtaking sight that draws nature enthusiasts from around the globe. Stretching over 45 kilometers (27.9 miles), this awe-inspiring geological formation offers panoramic views, hiking trails, and glass observation terraces that allow visitors to admire the canyon's grandeur. The canyon's striking earthy tones and rugged textures are reminiscent of the rich, natural dyes and organic wool fibers in our Angora Oushak rugs.


2. Blaundos Antique City: Where History Comes to Life

Step back to Blaundos, an ancient city founded by Alexander the Great's soldiers. This hidden archaeological gem boasts impressive stone structures, including the remnants of city walls, temples, and an amphitheater. The detailed craftsmanship of these ruins mirrors the intricate designs woven into traditional Oushak rugs, where each motif has a story inspired by Turkish culture and history.

Each piece reflects the timeless elegance of Oushak's traditional weaving techniques, which have been protected by a geographical patent from Turkish authorities.
