All About Kucuksu Pavillions Skip-the-Ticket-Line Entry with Audio Guide
Nestled between the serene rivers of Göksu and Küçüksu, the Küçüksu Pavilions hold a rich history as one of the cherished imperial gardens of the Ottoman sultans. Over time, this picturesque area evolved into a beloved excursion spot for the residents of Istanbul, offering a tranquil retreat amidst nature's beauty.
Evolution of Structures of Kucuksu Kasri
The earliest known structure in this verdant haven dates back to the reign of Sultan Mahmud I, with a wooden hunting kiosk commissioned by his Grand Vizier Divitdâr Mehmed Emin Pasha. However, it was during Sultan Selim III's reign that significant renovations were undertaken, culminating in the addition of a fountain dedicated to his mother, Mihrişah Valide Sultan.
New Küçüksu Pavilion
In 1856-1857, during the reign of Sultan Abdülmecid, the old lodge was replaced with the magnificent Küçüksu Pavilion. Under Sultan Abdülaziz's patronage, the pavilion received further embellishments, solidifying its status as a symbol of Ottoman grandeur.
Architectural Features of the Pavillion
Architecturally, the pavilion boasts a stone construction spanning 15 x 27 meters, featuring two main storeys and a basement. The basement houses the cellar, kitchen, and servant’s quarters, while the upper floors consist of four rooms, each opening into a central gallery—a characteristic trait of traditional Turkish architecture.
Artistic Elegance Within
The seaward façade is adorned with exquisite relief decoration, an ornamental pool, and a fountain, showcasing Western motifs. Inside, the pavilion is akin to a museum of art, boasting ceilings adorned with plaster reliefs and painted designs, a plethora of fireplaces crafted from colored Italian marble, elegant parquet floors with distinct patterns in each room, European-style furniture, luxurious carpets, and captivating paintings.
Today, Küçüksu Pavilion stands as a testament to Ottoman architectural prowess and serves as a museum-palace, inviting visitors to delve into its rich history and captivating beauty.
