Genoese Palace, Medieval palace in Galata, Istanbul, Turkey.
The Genoese Palace stands at the northern shore of the Golden Horn, featuring preserved medieval architecture on its rear facade along Kart Çınar Street.
Built in 1314 by Montano De Marini, the palace underwent repairs in 1316 after fire damage and remained under Genoese control until the Ottoman conquest in 1453.
The building reflects the strong Italian influence in medieval Istanbul through its architectural similarities with the Palazzo San Giorgio in Genoa.
The five-floor structure, now known as Bereket Han, maintains its original position near the Camondo Steps in the Karaköy quarter of the Beyoğlu district.
The palace facade contained a Genoese coat-of-arms from 1446, attributed to Luchino De Fazio, until its reported theft in 2021.
