9-Arabgyrin
It was a bright place when the Silk Road was important, then its light went out, but it was not lost. It was used as a state center by Akkoyunlu, Ilkhanid and Danishmendis. During the Ottoman period, caravans carrying goods from east to west stopped here and sold the silk and manusa weavings they bought from Arapgir in distant lands. Arapgir was one of the regions where Armenians lived intensely. In the early 1600s, many Armenian families from Arapgir and Eğin migrated to the west; They migrated to Istanbul, Bursa and Tekirdağ. Many of the prominent Armenian families of Istanbul had their roots here. It continued to be a dense Armenian settlement until 1915. Therefore, it is a place of great emotional importance for them as well. The local fabric of this place was produced in manusa on 5,000 looms and exported to 7 countries. In addition, there are 75 more branches of trade! Traders raced to buy shops in Arapgir. Then, as the industrial revolution said the Silk Road lost its importance, both trade and population lost blood. The mansions are empty, the looms are silent, the fields are empty. It's partly a ghost town. Those who stayed in the city built neighborhoods made of concrete in new places. The beautiful old adobe and stone buildings are left orphaned. But they are so beautiful and meaningful with their solitude that they have a completely different magnetism. It is a place that is a bit sad, a bit peaceful, a place that evokes intense feelings. People are just as sweet. One of our acquaintances said, "There is no evil from Arapgirl," and you really feel that way when you have two conversations. The nature, especially the Eskişehir Valley, is beautiful. It looks more like its neighbor Kemaliye than Malatya. We loved it. It is a place that has preserved its authenticity, where you can take beautiful photos and enjoy being in it. However, it is necessary to come by car. We have compiled our suggestions from Arapgir for you to enjoy.

10- Camera & Radio Gramophone Museum
We visited two wonderful museums in Malatya. The Camera Museum is the largest camera museum in Asia and Europe. They have created a very entertaining and rich exhibition from the cameras used by the secret services to the first cameras in history. Cameras attached to spy pigeons (spy drones of old times), cameras hidden in clocks, treacherous radar devices, only a limited number of gold cameras in the world, cinema projectors with coal stoves…. We liked it very much. When you arrive at the museum, definitely request to be taken with a guide, you may not understand much if you visit it alone. A few minutes ahead of it is the Radio Gramophone Museum. Of course, there is another delightful collection of historical gramophones and radios there. The collector Baki Tamer Selçuk Bey has a great contribution in both museums. In particular, almost all of the camera was created with his personal collection as a gift. We applaud him.
