Beyazıt State Library, Public library in Beyazıt Square, Turkey
The Beyazıt State Library occupies two historical buildings facing Beyazıt Square, near the Grand Bazaar and the Beyazıt Mosque in Istanbul.
Founded in 1884 during the Ottoman Empire period, this educational institution became one of Turkey's first state-established libraries, collecting and preserving written materials.
The library maintains extensive collections of manuscripts, newspapers, and rare books, contributing to the preservation of Turkish literary and academic heritage.
Operating twenty-four hours daily, the facility provides reading rooms, research spaces, and digital resources to students, academics, and general public visitors.
The library housed multiple cats during the early 1900s to control the mouse population, establishing an unexpected connection with Istanbul's feline presence.
