Paşabahçe, Beykoz

Paşabahçe is a neighbourhood in the municipality and district of Beykoz, Istanbul Province, Turkey.

Grand vizier Hezarpare Ahmed Pasha (in office 1647–1648) built here a palace-like mansion with a wide yard.

Later, Sultan Mustafa III (r. 1757-1753) built a school, a mosque, a hamam (Turkish bath) and a fountain in the location, and settled Muslim Turks around the buildings.

In the 19th century, there were seven yalıs, waterfront mansions, one mosque, two churches, two bakeries, one mill and a fishing weir.
