BILSAR BUILDING

Bilsar Building the front side of the building in Art Nouveau style overlooks the Tünel Square and the back side looks at the Golden Horn.

The 19th century residence building was renovated by the Aga Han Award winner architect Han Tümertekin. The inside of the building has been completely renovated and preserved. Each floor of the building, which has a parcel width of 98 meters, was originally planned as separate, singular apartment units.
