Kültür Ve Turizm Bakanlığı İl Kültür Ve Turizm Müdürlüğü

We would like to see more of Kastamonu services.

Provincial Directorate of Culture and Tourism still serves in Rıfat Ilgaz Cultural Center. This building, which started to be built as a prison between 1887-88, served in accordance with its purpose for many years. The building, which was evacuated by moving the prison to its new building in 1982, was purchased from the Ministry of Justice in 1983 in order to be converted into a Cultural Center. The project prepared for the function change of the building was approved by the Protection Board in 1985. Repair and restoration started in 1985 and started to serve as a Cultural Center in 1993. In the basement of the building, there are warehouses, music room and central heating room. On the ground floor there is a multipurpose hall with 194 people, backstage and foyers, and the State Fine Arts Gallery. There are 3 exhibition halls in the State Fine Arts Gallery that can be used independently. In addition, the kitchen, warehouse and art warehouse and the gallery administrative part are located on this floor. On the upper floor, there are administrative sections of the Provincial Culture and Tourism Directorate, offices, archives, warehouses and foyers, as well as a balcony section of the multi-purpose hall.
