Yildiz Kiosk - Sale, Malta and Cadir
In addition to the State Pavilions at the Yildiz
Palace complex, the compound includes a series
of pavilions and a mosque. It was completed by
Abdülhamit II at the end of the l9th century.
Malta Pavillion |
Malta Pavilion is located in Yildiz Park to
the north side of the wall separating the Yildiz
Palace. There are also two watching and resting
pavilions in the grove being the rear garden of
Ciragan Palace (Abdulaziz period). To the north,
two story building was called Malta pavilion one
a large panoramic terrace. The origin of that
name is not known certainly but it is thought
that during the Ottoman era the certain parts of
palaces are called the names of conquered
places, so this name is given after the conquest
of Malta island.
The Sale, the largest and most exquisite of
the buildings, reveals the luxury in which the
sultans lived and entertained. Set in a huge
park of flowers, shrubs and trees gathered from
every part of the world, the palace grounds
offer one of the most beautiful panoramic views
of the Bosphorus. Because of restoration work,
only the Sale and park are open to the public.
(Open every day except Tuesday).
