Büyük Abud Efendi Han

The Buyuk Abud Efendi Han features four floors with three facades, incorporating glass and metal architecture with wide corridors and iron-worked staircases.

Built in 1895, the structure represents one of Istanbul's first modern buildings, displaying inscriptions in both Ottoman Turkish and French above two of its entrances.

The building exemplifies the architectural transition period when Ottoman Empire adopted European construction techniques, combining traditional and modern design elements.

Located at the intersection of Tarakcilar Street and Mahmutpasa Hill, the main entrance of this commercial building faces Mahmutpasa slope.

The building maintains its original hotel-like rooms and architectural features, serving as the filming location for the Turkish comedy film 'Yoksul'.
