Ishak Pasha Palace in eastern Türkiye attracts over 200,000 visitors this year

Ishak Pasha Palace, considered one of the most distinguished Ottoman works in Anatolia, stands in eastern Türkiye. The palace, which combines Ottoman and Seljuk architectural styles, was built in the 18th century. Construction began in 1684 and was completed in 1785 by Ishak Pasha.

As part of the UNESCO World Heritage Tentative List, the palace has seen a surge in tourism, hosting over 200,000 local and foreign visitors this year. Local officials attribute this increase to the “Terror-free Türkiye” process, which has established a peaceful environment in the region.
