İshak Pasha Palace: An intricate pearl of architecture
İshak Pasha Palace: An intricate pearl of architecture
İshak Paşa Palace, located in Doğubayezit district of Ağrı province, is more of a complex than a mere palace.
It is the most famous of the palaces built in the decades shortly after the Topkapı Palace in İstanbul, in 1685.
The characteristic of the palace is its mixture of Ottoman, Persian and Seljuk architectural styles.
The portal on the eastern façade of the palace, which is built with cut stones, reflects the characteristics of Seljuk art with its relief and decorations.
İshak Paşa Palace stands in a desolate valley today and the fact that it was the subject of various legends and stories adds to its magnificent atmosphere some colour and mystery.
