Ölümünün 100. Yılında Mahmut Şevket Paşa’nın Türbesi

2013

Mahmut Şevket Pasha was the grand vizier for a short time after holding important official positions during the Ottoman Empire. He was assassinated during this mission. The tomb of Mahmut Şevket Pasha, who played a major role in suppressing the 31 March Riot and re-declaration of the constitutional monarchy, was built next to Abide-i Hurriyet Monument which had been built in consequence of those events. The tomb was designed by Architect Kemalettin and it represents all features of National Architecture Period in terms of its plan, foundation and decoration. The burial chamber and double-wall dome of the tomb differentiate the tomb from other tombs in the same period.
