Nasreddin Hoca Memorial Park

Culture & art

A reminder of the town’s storytelling heritage.

Town centre, Sivrihisar / Eskişehir

The Nasreddin Hoca Memorial Park connects the town’s public space with its storytelling tradition. A bronze sculpture by Metin Yurdanur is a central feature.

The park also includes a stone sarcophagus regarded as a commemorative makam, a grave associated with his daughter Hatun, and ceramic interpretation panels. Commemorative associations should be distinguished from settled biographical evidence.

The park complements, rather than duplicates, the Culture House in town and the Hoca House at Hortu. Together they present different ways in which the tradition is remembered.
