Its story
The pavilion is the only surviving building of the Tersane (Shipyard) Palace, built in a large garden on the northern shore of the Golden Horn in the 17th century. It took its present form at the end of the 18th century in the reign of Selim III; because of Selim III's interest in music, it is said that he composed his works in the pavilion. Its finely crafted rooms, decorated with mirrors and lattices, are an elegant example of Ottoman civil architecture. The pavilion, under the National Palaces administration, houses an exhibition of Turkish musical instruments.
