Procession Kiosk, Ottoman ceremonial kiosk in Fatih, Turkey

The Procession Kiosk stands on the outer walls of Gülhane Park next to Topkapı Palace, featuring traditional Ottoman architectural elements and wall paintings.

Built in the 16th century, this kiosk served as a dedicated location for Ottoman sultans to receive salutes from processing janissary troops during ceremonies.

The structure has been transformed into the Ahmet Hamdi Tanpınar Literature Museum Library in 2011, maintaining its connection to Turkish heritage.

Located near major transportation hubs in Istanbul, the kiosk remains open to visitors who can explore both the building and the adjacent Gülhane Park.

The kiosk sits next to the Sublime Porte, which functioned as the principal entrance to the grand administrative center of the Ottoman Empire.
