SIRKECI GREAT POST OFFİCE

 

Sirkeci PTT Center (Great Post Office) was built between 1905-09 and opened as the Post and Telegraph Ministry Building.

 

The Great Post Office was also used as the Istanbul Radio House between 1927-36, and since 1958 it was only used for postal and telegraph works. Today, the Grand Post Office Building serves as the Post Office of the European Side of Istanbul. There is also a museum in the building that provides information about the history of communication and telecommunication in our country. 16th century Ottoman architecture is predominant in the decoration of the building. The facade of the building is made of chipped stone and marble.

 

Its restoration started in 2017 but it was liquidated in 2019.
