Naval Museum, Maritime military museum in Beşiktaş district, Turkey
The Istanbul Naval Museum spans 20,000 square meters across three floors, displaying thousands of naval artifacts, ship models, and historical maritime equipment.
Founded in 1897 by Ottoman Minister Bozcaadalı Hasan Hüsnü Pasha, the museum underwent extensive renovation and reopened in 2013 with modernized facilities.
The museum exhibits the Tarihi Kadırga, a late 16th-century Ottoman galley with the oldest maintained wooden hull, representing Turkish maritime engineering.
Located near Beşiktaş ferry pier, the museum welcomes visitors from Tuesday to Sunday, 9:00 AM to 5:00 PM on weekdays and until 6:00 PM on weekends.
The basement houses sections of the original Byzantine chain used to block enemy ships from entering the Golden Horn during the 1453 Constantinople conquest.
