Galata Mevlevihanesi, Dervish lodge and museum in Beyoğlu, Turkey
The Galata Mevlevi Lodge contains a large ceremonial hall with walnut floors, prayer niches, and traditional Ottoman architectural elements.
Established in 1491 during the Ottoman period, the building served as a center for Mevlevi dervishes until 1975, when it became a literature museum.
The museum showcases Turkish calligraphy, marbling art exhibitions, and traditional musical instruments, representing the Ottoman artistic heritage.
The museum opens Tuesday through Sunday from 9:00 AM to 4:30 PM, with dervish ceremonies performed every Sunday at 6:00 PM for 150 visitors.
The complex includes two historical tombs housing remains of notable dervish leaders, including Sheikh Galip and multiple generations of Mevlevi masters.
