Yapı Kredi Kültür Sanat

Beyoğlu


Towering over Galatasaray Sq, this sleek cultural centre affiliated with a major Turkish bank stages art exhibitions, hosts classical-music concerts, and is home to a research library of books on arts and culture. The light-filled exterior staircase overlooking İstiklal Caddesi is a popular spot for selfies.
