The only surviving Ottoman palace on the Golden Horn — and almost nobody visits it

The only surviving Ottoman palace on the Golden Horn — a modest 17th-century pavilion in Hasköy with a fine collection of Turkish musical instruments. The name means 'mirrored poplar' after the reflecting pool that once surrounded it. One of the least-visited Ottoman imperial buildings in the city.
