Ishak Pasha Palace DOGUBEYAZIT
Ishak Pasha Palace is a palace located in the Doğubayazıt district of Ağrı. Construction began in 1685 and was completed in 1784. It comprises a large complex, including a mosque, tomb, library, cellars, dormitories, and a harem and selamlık (men's quarters). Although built during the Ottoman Empire, Ishak Pasha Palace generally reflects Seljuk architecture, but also reflects the influence of Western artistic movements such as baroque, Gothic, rococo, and empire. It has been on UNESCO's World Heritage Tentative List since 2000.
Construction of the palace was begun in 1685 by Çolak Abdi Pasha, a member of the Çıldır Atabek family, and was completed in 1784 (99 years) during the reign of Küçük Ishak Pasha, a descendant of the same lineage. Construction of the palace took ninety-nine years, and its architect was a Meskhetian craftsman. Ishak Pasha Palace is highly significant in Turkish cultural history.[1] The name İshak Pasha was established due to the 1785 inscription on the harem gate.
This İshak Pasha has no connection with the other İshak Pasha, who served as governor of Çıldır for a brief period with the rank of vizier in 1789-1790.
