Kuleli Military High School, Military high school in Çengelköy, Turkey
The white building with pointed towers stands on the Asian shore of the Bosphorus strait, featuring Ottoman architectural elements and waterfront views.
Established in 1845 by Sultan Abdalmecid, the institution served as Turkey's first military high school until the events of July 2016.
The structure, designed by Armenian architect Garabed Balyan, represents a period of Ottoman educational reform and military modernization.
Following recent changes, the building operates as a museum, offering visitors insights into Turkish military education through exhibits and guided tours.
The school grounds witnessed significant events during the 2016 coup attempt, leading to its transformation from an educational facility to a cultural institution.
