Selamlik, which carries the characteristics of Egyptian architecture, stands out with French Orientalist artist Felix Auguste Clément’s 4.65 by 7.76 m oil painting entitled “The Hunt Scene” hanging on its wall. The perspective technique mastered by the artist creates the illusion that one of the horses follows the spectators with its eyes as they walk across the room. Today Selamlik is used for dinner parties, special gatherings as well as conferences and meetings.

Waterfront:
Unlike most “yalis” built adjacent to the sea, Sait Halim Pasha Mansion was constructed on a marble quay, a novelty of the 19th century architectural style. The quay is more than 100 meters long, with a private port which allows transfer to the mansion from the sea. Set right above the blue waters, with a panoramic view of the Bosphorus, it is a unique spot for wedding ceremonies. It is also a perfect cocktail area for banquets held in the Harem Garden Ballroom and Clement’s Garden.
