Türkiye Cultural Heritage Atlas — Open Data (Kahve Tabela)

Two open datasets compiled from public sources by Kahve Tabela, an independent atlas of Türkiye's cultural heritage:

Snapshot: 24 July 2026. These files are a fixed, citable extract — that is what the DOI is for. The live atlas keeps moving as records are cleaned, merged and added, so its counts drift away from the ones here; for current figures see kahvetabela.com.

heritage-lite-32483-ae184b49.csv — 32,483 registered cultural-heritage places id, name, category, city, district, lat, lon, wikidata_id Every record links to a live page: https://kahvetabela.com/tr/place/{id}. Wikidata QIDs are entity-audited (wrong-entity links removed programmatically + human-reviewed).
yore-sofrasi-gi-1679-a82d0c43.csv / .json — 1,679 geographical-indication (GI) registered regional foods from the public TürkPatent registry slug, name, name_en, provinces, province_tokens, category, gi_type, gi_number, source_urls

Canonical source

https://kahvetabela.com/tr/acik-veri — versioned filenames (record count + sha256 prefix), integrity manifest at https://kahvetabela.com/dumps/index.json, plus a free JSON API (/api/locations, /api/nearby, OpenAPI at /openapi.json).

Heritage records and metadata derive in part from Kültür Envanteri, licensed CC BY. Credit them by name when you republish — a link from a third-party page does not discharge a CC BY obligation.
Brown-sign / registered heritage points originate with the T.C. Kültür ve Turizm Bakanlığı (public).
Coordinates derive partly from OpenStreetMap (ODbL, share-alike applies); identifiers from Wikidata (CC0); GI records from the public TürkPatent registry.
No photography is included in these files. Place imagery on the website is Wikimedia Commons under per-file CC licences and is not redistributed here.
