Turkish House, Neo-Moorish residential building in Rijeka, Croatia.
The Turkish House stands at 13 Verdi Street with red-yellow horizontal stripes, decorated windows, and geometric patterns across its four-story facade.
Built in 1879 and expanded in 1906, the structure belonged to Nikolaj Nikolaides, who served as the Ottoman diplomatic representative in Rijeka.
The facade incorporates four variations of Arabic script calligraphy, along with painted human figures that diverge from traditional Islamic architectural norms.
Located at the intersection of Verdi and Lisinski streets, the building maintains its residential function while attracting architecture enthusiasts.
The structure combines Historicism, Art Nouveau, and Oriental elements, featuring decorative inscriptions that mix religious formulas with ornamental designs.
