The Tiled Kiosk, known in Turkish as Çinili Köşk, is a historical pavilion that is part of the Topkapı Palace complex. Dating back to 1472, as indicated by the tile inscription above the main entrance, it was constructed by the Ottoman sultan Mehmed II. The pavilion is located in the outermost parts of the palace, adjacent to Gülhane Park.

In 1953, it was opened to the public as a museum dedicated to Turkish and Islamic art. Later, it became part of the Istanbul Archaeology Museums, where it now houses the Museum of Islamic Art.

  • Apollo's Insights AI-Generated

    The Tiled Kiosk, located in Istanbul, Turkey, is a notable historical structure that now serves as a museum. Built in the 15th century, it's part of the Istanbul Archaeology Museums complex. Visitors appreciate its beautiful Ottoman architecture and intricate tile work, which gives the building its name. The museum houses a collection of Turkish ceramics and tiles from various periods, offering insight into the evolution of this art form. While the collection is generally well-presented, some visitors note that the information provided could be more comprehensive. The kiosk's relatively small size means it can be explored in a short time, which some find convenient, while others wish for a more extensive exhibit. The peaceful courtyard setting adds to the overall experience. However, a few reviewers mention that the lighting inside could be improved to better showcase the exhibits. Despite minor drawbacks, most visitors find the Tiled Kiosk to be a worthwhile stop for those interested in Ottoman architecture and decorative arts.
