Baruthane National Garden, Istanbul

Known as Baruthane-i Amire, was put into operation in 1700 as the fifth and also the largest and most modern gunpowder factory in Ottoman Empire. The facility was renovated during the Selim the 3rd period and expanded with additions such as the Hünkar Mansion. Baruthane, which was transferred to the Military Factories Administration during the Turkish Republic period, was later given to the Machinery and Chemical Industry Corporation in 1955.

Illuminating historical heritage buildings certainly have their challenges that need to be addressed.

BSI is proud to have been involved in a project of such historical significance and is thrilled to add this to the list of other prominent structures that has lit over the decades.
