Keçecizâde Fuad Paşa Türbesi

Keçecizâde Fuad Paşa Türbesi stands in the heart of Istanbul as a nineteenth-century Ottoman mausoleum. Its architecture combines traditional forms with Baroque influence, using intricate details and curved lines.

Marble and metal alams crown the structure, with crescent shapes recalling a familiar feature of Ottoman domes and roofs. Crescents and stars also appear in the design, reflecting the artistic changes and cultural exchanges of the nineteenth century. The mausoleum commemorates Keçecizâde Fuad Pasha, an Ottoman statesman associated with political reform and modernisation during the Tanzimat period.

Look up to the roofline for the alams, whose materials and crescent forms bring the building’s Ottoman character into view.
