Two centuries of history come to light: The 200-year journey of the Davutpaşa Barracks is now open to visitors at YTÜ
The military, architectural, and sociocultural evolution of the Davutpaşa Barracks, whose construction began during the reign of Sultan Mahmud II, was brought to light through a photography exhibition organized by the YTÜ Sultan Abdulhamid II Application and Research Center. Prepared to mark the 200th anniversary of the barracks’ founding, the exhibition—comprising 42 archival-quality photographs—will be open to visitors at the historic Sancak Mansion until May 10.
