Kıbrıslı Mansion is one of the famous mansions located on the Anatolian side of the Bosphorus, in the Kandilli district, reflecting the elegant architecture of the Ottoman period. It was named after Cypriot Mehmet Emin Pasha.
History of Kıbrıslı Mansion
The
Kıbrıslı Mansion was built in the last quarter of the 18th century and was purchased by Cypriot Mehmet Emin Pasha in 1840.
It has the distinction of being the mansion with the widest façade among the mansions on the Bosphorus.
The first owner of the Kıbrıslı Mansion was İzzet Mehmet Pasha, one of the grand viziers of Abdülhamid I, who was appointed as the grand vizier for the second time after the death of Silahtar Mehmet Pasha, who was known as the Black Vizier.
It is also known as Kıbrıslı Mehmet Pasha Mansion and Kara Vezir Mansion.
Ümran Güngör Üzümcü bought the mabeyn (middle) section of the Kıbrıslı Mansion with his wife Melahat Üzümcü, whom he married in 1996.
In other parts of the mansion, the Komili family and the heirs of İzzet Mehmet Pasha live.
