The reality of the "villa on top of an apartment" photo, which was taken in Ankara and shared on social media with the note "villa with a sea view from the contractor," turned out to be completely different.

A photo taken in the Ümit neighborhood of the Çankaya district in Ankara was shared on social media with the note "a villa with a sea view in Ankara from the contractor." In the front shot, it appeared that there was a villa on the roof of a 13-story apartment building.

PERSPECTIVE DISTORTION REVEALED THE TRUTH

After the image spread, it was determined upon examination that the photo was a perspective distortion. It was found that the villa-like structure, which appeared to be on the roof of the apartment building, actually belonged to another building located on a slope at the back. It was established that there was approximately 100 meters of distance between the two structures.
