Its story
The Silahtarağa Power Plant was established in 1914 at the head of the Golden Horn to supply İstanbul with electricity and operated until 1983. On the initiative of İstanbul Bilgi University, the plant buildings were converted into a cultural and educational campus in 2007. In the Energy Museum, turbines, boilers and the control room are preserved and displayed in their original state. The campus is cited as a good example of the reuse of industrial heritage.
