NURİ PAŞA Yalısı / NURI PASHA Mansion

It is estimated that this mansion was built in 1895 by one of the officers of Abdülhamit, Nuri Pasa.

For many years Rahmi Koç lived in this house. When Rahmi Koç moved to the Kont Ostrorog yali in Kandilli, this house was left to his son, Ali Koç.

It is believed that Nuri Bey's painter son Hami eloped with the daughter of Marki Necip, who was the owner of the neighboring mansion.
