Rumeli Han's History:
Having been rented by the art world’s household names, Rumeli Han was built as a mansion for Sultan Abdulhamid’s chamberlain Ragip Pasha in 1878. The seals on the building’s bricks, which was built by the French and Italian architects, indicate that they were shipped from Marseilles. It is estimated that the wooden floors were imported from Africa. The seven-story building consists of 3 blocks, and each block has 21 apartments. There is also a shopping arcade at the entrance of Rumeli Han.
