Balat, which has a rich Byzantine heritage, is an old Jewish neighborhood and still has a large Jewish population. In addition, the Sephardim, who were exiled from Spain in the 15th century, settled in Balat. Most of the houses in Balat, which is protected as a UNESCO World Heritage Site and some of which have been restored, were wooden before the 18th and 19th centuries. However, due to the many fires that broke out here, most of the wooden buildings were burned down and masonry buildings were then preferred. There are very few single-story buildings and the houses are usually built in twos or threes.
