On İstiklal Caddesi, Tarihi Çiçek Pasajı is part of Beyoğlu’s architectural heritage stretching back to the nineteenth century. Also known as Cite de Pera, the passage carries traces of everyday life across different periods.
The passage takes its name from the florists who once gathered here. According to Istanbul Metropolitan Municipality’s account, as the florists moved elsewhere, the premises became meyhanes; the flower name lived on.
Beyoğlu Municipality’s records state that the badly damaged passage was repaired and reopened in 1988. Today, you can explore its architecture, discover its restaurants and find your way here for a gathering of your own.
