- Abstract
Buildings at the Davutoglu Dead End in the Asagibaglar neighborhood of Malatya, Turkey, have not reached the present day because of irresponsible urbanization. Yaguplar and Davut Aga Vineyard Houses were sitting at a dead end, a prominent element of Islamic cities. Behind the walls of their high courtyards, the first was built as a two-story building and the second as a one-story building, and both were built in a plan to have interior halls. The Yaguplar vineyard house stands out with its hand-painted decorations on wood, which are part of the local architecture where stones, mud-bricks and wood have been used as construction materials. Mandalas, consisting of baklava motifs seen in both buildings, are another major feature. Paintings portraying vegetations were used in hand-painted decorations, also known as ocher paints, seen in the Yaguplar house, and the trees of life placed on the upper parts of the pillars are the most remarkable decoration among them. They are also important in that they are the only documented examples built in Malatya using this technique.
