District guide · Manisa
Şehzadeler is the historic half of Manisa, on the lower slopes of Mount Spil. The Sultan Mosque, the Muradiye and the archaeological museum stand within a few hundred metres of each other here, and the bazaar streets run downhill from them. It is the district a visitor walks.
