The sixth of the Denizli History Conferences was held by Prof. Dr. Mustafa Beyazıt, Faculty of Humanities and Social Sciences, Department of Art History, on “Turkish-Islamic Period Works in Denizli”. Prof. Dr. Beyazıt explained the works of the Turkish-Islamic period that existed in Denizli until the 20th century, starting from the rock paintings in the Çal region. Çardak Han, Ak Han, Hacı Eyüplü Han, Single Dome Mosques, Wooden Pole Mosques, Tekkes, Tombs, Mansions, Schools were included in his presentation. Prof. Dr. Mustafa Beyazıt stated that studies and excavations related to the Turkish period in Denizli should be intensified. After the presentation, Dean of the Faculty of Humanities and Social Sciences Prof. Dr. Yasemin Beyazıt, MÜSİAD Denizli Branch Engin Boyacı and Pamukkale University Prof. Dr. Ahmet Kutluhan made the closing speeches.

Rector Prof. Dr. Ahmet Kutluhan, who made the closing speech of the conference, stated the following: “The consciousness of being a nation is an issue that we all emphasize. Maybe this consciousness is hidden in Denizli; in Akhan or Kayı Bazaar. The most important element of Denizli History Meetings for me is that we have drawn the framework of Denizli. Denizli History Conferences ended this evening, but as the University, we will continue to knock on the doors of the city to 'integrate with the city'. I would like to invite Engin Boyacı, President of MÜSİAD Denizli, to cooperate with us to develop a joint project to organize award-winning competitions involving young people in Denizli in the future.”
