His house in Istanbul has his manuscripts, drafts, and personal belongings as a tribute to his legacy.

Free entry to Adam Mickiewicz Museum
As he was on a military mission in Ottoman Istanbul, this house contains political documents that can be viewed as well. As a Romantic poet, the end of his life has deep secrets too as some people think that he was poisoned by his enemies in spite of the fact that there is no proof of this conspiracy theory. Regardless, you can have a good time in a place of inspiration to Poland’s greatest poet. You can look at his paintings, read some of his Romantic poems and contemplate the past life and relations of a great poet whose first resting place is visible in the basement of his house where he has spent his last days.
This is the tomb that couldn’t keep an artist! Adam Mickiewicz died at the age of 56 in 1855 in Istanbul. After his death, he was buried in the basement of his house for a short period of time until he was transported to Poland. Thanks to the efforts of the Museum of Literature in Warsaw, even his initial burial place can be accessed in Istanbul. On the 100th anniversary of the day, he died; Adam Mickiewicz Museum was established so that the legacy of a great national poet would live on. Visitors from Poland still pay their respects to Adam Mickiewicz by coming to the home of his last days. Be it paying respects or just having an entertaining tour, don’t forget to visit his house while you are benefiting from the many opportunities of the Istanbul Tourist Pass.
