Çiçek Pasajı (Turkish: Flower Passage), originally called the Cité de Péra, is a famous historic passage (galleria or arcade) on İstiklal Avenue in the Beyoğlu district of Istanbul, Turkey. A covered arcade with rows of historic cafes, winehouses and restaurants, it connects İstiklal Avenue with Sahne Street and has a side entrance opening onto the Balık Pazarı (Fish Market).
After the fire of 1870, the theatre was purchased by Ottoman Greek banker Hristaki Zoğrafos Efendi, and in 1876 architect Kleanthis Zannos designed the current building, which was called Cité de Péra or Hristaki Pasajı (Hristaki Passage) in its early years.[4]Yorgo'nun Meyhanesi (Yorgo's Winehouse) was the first winehouse to be opened in the passage.[4]
In 1908, Grand VizierMehmed Said Pasha purchased the building, and it became known as the Sait Paşa Pasajı (Said Pasha Passage).[4]
Following the Russian Revolution of 1917, a number of impoverished noble Russian women, including a baroness, opened flower shops here.[4] By the 1940s the building was mostly occupied by flower shops, hence the present Turkish name Çiçek Pasajı (Flower Passage).[4]
After the restoration of the building in 1988, it was reopened as a galleria of pubs and restaurants.[4]
