Its story
The area was a recreation ground used as a resting place by the Ottoman sultans. In the reign of Sultan Abdülmecid, the Ceremonial Pavilion (Merasim Köşkü) and the Retinue Pavilion (Maiyet Köşkü) were built between 1849 and 1855 to designs by Nikoğos Balyan. The small buildings with Baroque and Rococo decoration were used for the sultan's short visits and receptions. Today the pavilion and its garden, under the National Palaces administration, offer a quiet place for a break in the city.
