| The Iznik Museum
The Iznik Museum is definitely worth a visit. It is housed in the Nilufer Hatun soup kitchen which is a well-preserved example of 14th century Ottoman architecture, built by Sultan Murat ! in 1388. The entrance of the building is a gallery covered with a dome and arched vaults, carried by columns and pedestals. Three brick layers and a single stone layer technique were used in the building. The garden of the Iznik Museum has works of art from Greek, Roman, Byzantine and Ottoman periods. In the museum itself are pieces from the Ilipinar Theater and kiln furnace excavations. In the main area of the museum you can see prehistoric tiles, Greek, Roman and Byzantine ceramic ware, stone work, glassware, coins, ornaments, jewelry and more. There are many examples of the famous Iznik tiles. |
