The Bulgur Palas, or originally known as Bolulu Habip Bey Mansion, is a 1912-built historical mansion located in Istanbul, Tuırkey. After its acquiry by the Istanbul Metropolitan Municipality in 2021, it was restored and redeveloped into a library and clultural center for public use.
History
The Bulgur Palas was commissioned by Mehmet Habip Bey, a soldier and member of the parliament in the Ottoman Empire, and designed by the Italian architect Giulio Mongeri. However, due to financial difficulties experienced by Habip Bey, the construction could not be fully completed. After his sudden death in 1926, the building was transferred to the Ottoman Bank as collateral for the family's debts. Used by the bank for a period as residences and archives, the building was later abandoned.[1] Remaining under the ownership of the Ottoman Bank, the building passed into the ownership of Garanti Bank in 2001.
In 2021, the Istanbul Metropolitan Municipality purchased the Bulgur Palas and began efforts to restore the building, intending to open it to the public as a document center, archive, library, exhibition hall, and café. The building was opened to visitors on February 28, 2024.[2]
Architecture
The structure, designed by Italian architect Giulio Mongeri in 1912, exhibits traces of the First national architectural movement.[3]
It consists of three full floors and one half floor.[4]
