Aynalıkavak

Pavilion:

e

Aynahkavak Pavilion is one of the best

examples of the architecture

of the

late Ottoman period as far as its in­

terior decoration

is concerned.

The

most important

parts were the Arz

Odası (the

large

hall

in a public

building

where the grand vizier or

other high personages held court) and

the Divanhane (audience hall).

~

ThePavilionwasnotonly aresidence, butalsoa placewhere extrava­

gantfeastsand entertainmentand formal meetings tookplace

Aynalıkavak Pavilion,

located in Hasköy, is a

delightful building. Thesilent environment where there are hardlyany visitors, eveninthe summer, does not reflect the atmosphere of the times when

Ottoman feasts and

ceremonies took place. Actually the fate of the pavilion wasunfortunate right from its beginning in the eight­ eenth century. It wasbuilt on the shore of the peaceful waters of the Golden Horn, next to the shipyard which blocked the view of the coast. The first pavilion was built on the coast during the reignof Ahmet I, in the seven­ teenth century. When his son İbrahim became sultan, new buildings were constructed in

The peculiar shape of the mirrors, like poplar trees, became so famous that the pavilion soon started to be called Aynalı Kavak Sarayı (the pavilion with mirrors like poplars) and the name chang­ ed to "Aynalıkavak" (Mir­ ·ored Poplar Pavilion) and

shipyard on the Golden Horn, the woods were called "Ter­ sane Hasbahçesi". Some of the buildings were demolished by a firewhich broke outdur­ ing the reign of Mehmet IV, but later most were restored. According to one document, Sultan Ibrahim forbade the sailing of boats along the Golden Horn in order to hide the luxurious and charming lifeof thesultan and his fami­ ly from the eyes of the public.

But no more than a week

later, he had to withdraw his decision due to complaints and public disturbances. The

pavilion was not only a

residence for entertainment and feasts, but also a place for formal meetings concerning the empire. In the eighteenth century it functioned as a cen­ tre for foreign affairs and in I 779 the Küçük Kaynarca Treaty was signed there. However, Aynalıkavak lost its attraction forthesultans after Ahmet III during whose reign most of the buildings of the palace were demolished. The

for example, the "Painters' Street".
