Gazi Pavillion

Gazi Pavillion is a history museum in Diyarbakir featuring traditional Turkish architecture with timber-work walls and interior gardens. The building contains multiple exhibition rooms displaying artifacts and historical materials.

The building dates from the 15th century during the Aq Qoyunlu dynasty period. It later became associated with Mustafa Kemal Atatürk, linking it to the country's modern founding.

The mansion displays objects and documents that reflect the region's heritage and local identity. You can see items that shaped how people here understand their past.

The site is managed by Diyarbakir's Museum Directorate and offers guided tours for visitors. You should check opening times beforehand and note that it is located in the old city center.

The building took its name from a visit by Mustafa Kemal Atatürk, which connected it to the nation's modern era. This transformed it into a place representing two distinct periods of Turkish history.
