SABANCI MARDIN CITY MUSEUM

It is located in the previous Republic area in Mardin Savurkapı District. It is not known exactly when the inscription of the Mardin Sabancı City Museum building has survived. In some sources, the architectural architecture of the building is called Lole, and in some sources it is known as the Architect, Cebrail Hekimyan. Towards the end of the 19th century, during the reign of Sultan Abdulhamit II, the Hamidiye regiments were built as Atlı Barracks. After being used as a barracks building, the building was used as Military Branch and Tax Office Building from the first period of the Republic until 2003. In 2007, it was restored by Sabanci Foundation. In 2009, Sakip Sabanci Mardin City Museum and Dilek Sabanci Art Gallery were put into service. The floor of the Museum building, which is a two-storey building, forms the barn section of the barracks, while the upper floor has an administrative and dormitory section. In the structure, the single ornament element is located at the entrance gate located in the middle of the northern façade. The narrow arched entrance gate is in a niche with a non-deep rectangular shape. There are decorations made with reyme embossing technique on the upper part of the door and in the thick curb that block the door. On the top floor of the building, which serves as the Sakıp Sabancı Mardin City Museum, the artifacts and objects of life, social life and city history that make up the identity / memory of Mardin City are exhibited. It is possible to find examples from all the books about Mardin in the exhibition area where the identity of the crafts and Mardin are enriched with visual and audio materials. Dilek is on the lower floor serving as Sabancı Art Gallery; exhibitions of art, painting, marbling and contemporary art are presented to the visitors.

For access, it is next to the previous Government House (Faculty of Architecture) 200 m ahead east of Şehidiye Madrasah on 1.cad.
