The building is again domed, offering direct views onto the gardens and park of the Palace as well as the architecture of the city of Istanbul.
The Baghdad Koshk was also built at the Topkapı Palace in 1638–39, by Sultan Murad IV. The former was built in 1473 by Mehmed II ("the Conqueror") at the Topkapı Palace, Istanbul, and consists of a two storey building topped with a dome and having open sides overlooking the gardens of the palace. This architectural concept gradually evolved into a small yet grand residence used by Ottoman sultans, the most famous examples of which are quite possibly the Tiled Kiosk ("Çinili Köşk" in Turkish) and Baghdad Kiosk ("Bağdat Köşkü" in Turkish). As a building type, it was first introduced by the Seljuks as a small building attached to the main mosque, which consisted of a domed hall with open arched sides.
History and origins Ī kiosk is an open summer-house or pavilion usually having its roof supported by pillars with screened or totally open walls. Etymological data points to the Middle Persian word kōšk 'palace, portico' as the origin, via Turkish köşk 'pavilion' and French kiosque or Italian chiosco.
