Galata Mevlevi Museum

It is the first Mevlevihanesi of Istanbul and one of the most important Ottoman works in Beyoğlu. It was also known as Kulekapısı Mevlevihanesi and Galipdede Tekkesi. In 1491, Afyon Mevlevihane was founded by Sheikh Divane (Semaî) Mehmed (Çelebi) Dede on the land of Beylerbeyi İskender Pasha.
The Mevlevihane structures, which were affected by the 1509 Istanbul earthquake called "Little Apocalypse", were damaged by the Great Tophane fire in 1765 when Sultan III. Mustafa Efendi, Yenişehirli, was appointed and repaired.
