As of early spring 2003 it is possible to find a miniature version of the historic sites of İstanbul, Anatolia and former Ottoman provinces in one spot in Istanbul, namely Miniatürk. Coupled with the distinction of being most rapidly completed miniature park in the world, it boasts of a record number of visitors since it opened in March.

Located along the nostalgic Golden Horn, Minitürk is expected to contribute to the rehabilitation of the historic neighborhood in which it sprawls across an area of 60 thousand square meters, larger than any other miniature city in the world. The exhibition area itself is 15 thousand square meters.

The concept of Miniaturk was inspired by Moduradam in the Netherlands, one of the earliest miniature parks dating from 1952. Moduradam became so impressed by its Turkish counterpart that it suspended its policy of not commissioning models from abroad to place an order with the artists who created Miniaturk.
