Grand Vizier Derviş Mehmet Paşa Library
Merkez, Burdur
An elegant Ottoman library building commissioned in 1816 by Grand Vizier Derviş Mehmet Paşa.
Its story
The library was commissioned in 1816 by the Ottoman grand vizier Derviş Mehmet Paşa in his hometown of Burdur. It is considered one of the most elegant provincial examples of Ottoman library architecture. Heavily damaged in the 1914 earthquake, the building was restored and brought back to life. Since it is in the same area as the Hocabali Hammam and the Şeyh Sinan Mosque, they can be visited together.
