Built over a grand archway attached to the New Mosque, this small °ì²¹²õ°ùı (pavilion) or mahfili (loge) dates from the same period and functioned as a waiting area and retreat for the sultans. It comprises a salon, bedchamber and toilet and is decorated with exquisite Ä°znik tiles throughout. Entry is via an extremely long and wide staircase that is now ulitised by the Ä°stanbul Ticaret Odası (Chamber of Commerce) as a temporary exhibition space.
The °ì²¹²õ°ùı opens when exhibitions are being staged. These tend to open on the second Thursday of each month and have a life of two weeks. Check the Facebook page for details.
