Sefaatli

Sefaatli, one of the districts of Yozgat, was established in a valley with rivers. Sefaatli started to develop with the functioning of the Ankara-Kayseri railway line. The story of this district being called Sefaatli is told as follows; During the Seljuk period, a Turkish raider on a white horse would watch over a dominant hill overlooking the district with his white horse at dawn for a long time, and during this time the bandits who tried to come to Şefaatli would change their ways when they saw the raider. Since the mounted raider was seen at dawn, the district was named "Şafatli".

Clock Tower: Located in the district center of Sefaatli, the Clock Tower was built in 1986 by the philanthropist Hacı Bayram Karabulut. The Clock Tower consists of six stages in a rectangular shape.

Sefaatli (Koşa) Bridge: The Koşa Bridge, which was built over the Aksu river in the district center of Şefaatli, is located on the highway that provides transportation between Yozgat and Şefaatli. Koşa Bridge was built between 1894 and 1895. Between the arches on one side is an inscription consisting of three lines written in old script. The width of the Koşa Bridge is 7 meters and its length is 35 meters. The height of the walls of the Koşa Bridge, which has a height of 5.20 meters, is 30 centimeters. Although the three-eyed Koşa Bridge is still in use today, a new bridge was built next to it.

Karabıyık Bridge: Just like Koşa Bridge, Karabıyık Bridge is located on the highway between Yozgat and Şefaatli. Spring water passes under the Karabıyık Bridge. The Karabıyık Bridge, which is closed to use, does not have any inscriptions. However, it was built by Yavuz Sultan Selim in 1516 during his Egypt expedition and has managed to survive until today. The Karabıyık Bridge, made of cut stone, has 3 main pointed arches. The balustrades of the Karabıyık Bridge are made of stone. However, there are collapses in the railings and spills in some parts of the walls. Even though its originality was deteriorated by laying stones on its ground later, the Karabıyık Bridge still preserves its beauty. The length of the Karabıyık Bridge is 55 meters and its width is 4.51 meters. Arch spans are also 6.60 meters. As we said, the original stones were not used in the restoration of the bridge, and the third arch, which was restored between 2016 and 2018 and covered with the debris brought by the flood waters, was unearthed. The slate found in the Sefaatli region was used in the restoration of the Karabıyık Bridge.

Güzelli Village Caves: Located 22 kilometers from the city center of Şefaatli, Güzelli Caves is located on a slightly elevated hill made of limestone. The door width of the Güzelli Village Caves, which is 1.60 meters above the ground, is such that a person can pass through. The door, which has three steps in the front, has a round arched structure. There is a room at the entrance of the cave, followed by a large hall and two small rooms connected to the hall. There are many large and small natural caves on the east and south slopes of this hill. This gives an idea that there was once a settlement here.
