Architecture
Çiçek Pasajı (Flower Passage)
Beyoğlu, İstanbul
A historic arcade on İstiklal Caddesi, in the glass-roofed courtyard of the Cité de Péra building dated 1876.
Its story
The building was constructed in 1876 under the name Cité de Péra on the same plot after the Naum Theater burned down in the fire of 1870. With shops on the ground floor and residences on the upper floors, it is one of the first examples of Pera's arcade tradition reminiscent of European cities. It took the name 'Çiçek Pasajı' (Flower Passage) after émigrés who came to the city following the Russian Revolution sold flowers here. Today the passage, lined with meyhanes (taverns) and restaurants, is also worth seeing for its architecture.
