Hasan Paşa Yazma Eserler Kütüphanesi

Below the clock tower and in front of the Ulu Mosque, the Ottoman period architecture is a beautiful building.

The Library Building Opposed to Ulucami Previously Served as Istiklal Primary School. After Restoration, 7-8 Hasan Pasha, which is an important name for Çorum, was given the name of Hasan Pasha and started to serve as a library with historical works. I have never had a chance to visit until now, I will also share a photo from inside when I visit ☺️

I will definitely visit when I come back. Dating to the Late Ottoman Period, the building was completed between 1913 and 1915 during the reign of Governor Nurettin Bey. The building, which was called "Mecidi School" at that time, was changed to Istiklal Primary School in 1925 after the proclamation of the Republic. The building has an approximate square plan and has three floors, including the basement. As a building material, yellow cut sandstone was used in the exterior corners, floor moldings and door and window jambs, while the other parts were made of crushed stone with mortar. The structure, whose floor and ceiling are wooden, has two entrances. The cover system of the building is a hipped roof and it is covered with tiles.
