Why visit?
To see a small, quiet Ottoman pavilion on the Bosphorus shore, compared with the great palaces.
Short History
The pavilion was built for Sultan Abdülmecid and completed in 1857. Its architects were Garabet Amira Balyan and his son Nikoğos Balyan. An earlier timber pavilion from the reign of Mahmud I stood on the site. It has been open to visitors since a thorough restoration in 1944.
About
Küçüksu Pavilion stands right at the water’s edge between Anadoluhisarı and the Fatih Sultan Mehmet Bridge. Its richly carved, Baroque-influenced façade is easy to pick out from a ferry on the Bosphorus.
