Florya Atatürk Sea Pavilion (Deniz Köşkü)
Bakırköy, İstanbul
Atatürk's summer pavilion on the Florya shore, connected to land by a wooden pier on piles driven into the sea.
Its story
The pavilion was built by the İstanbul Municipality in 1935 in response to Atatürk's fondness for Florya and presented to him as a gift. Standing on piles driven into the seabed about 70 meters offshore, the building is connected to the shore by a wooden pier. With its reception hall, bedrooms and library, it is regarded as one of the landmark buildings of early Republican modernist architecture. The grove behind it is now open to the public as the Florya Atatürk Urban Forest; the pavilion is visited as a museum under the National Palaces administration.
