AGRI ISHAK PASHA PALACE
Ishak Pasha Palace was built as a
complex of buildings adjacent to a mosque. It is known
as the most famous of the palaces after the Topkapı
Palace in Istanbul and was built during the last period
of the Ottoman Empire.
The palace, located on a hillside 5
km east of Doğubayazıt District, is the last large
monumental structure of the Ottoman Empire in the “Lale
Devri” period. It is one of the most distinguished and
magnificent examples of the 18th century Ottoman
architecture and is highly prestigious in terms of art
history. According to the inscription at the Harem
Section, the palace was built in 1784, which corresponds
to the year 1199 in Islamic calendar.
The palace displays features of the
Ottoman, Persian and Seljukian architectural styles. It
was built in 1685 by Ishak Pasha the Second of
Çıldıroğulları and Çolak Abdi Pasha and took its final
appearance in 1784. The building occupies an area of
approximately 115x50m. With its reliefs and decorations,
the portal on the eastern facade of the palace, which is
built of carved stone blocks, reflects the
characteristics of the Seljuk art.
The walls of the palace are decorated
with couplets and verses from the Koran in the
decorative examples of the Turkish Calligraphy art.
