This neighborhood which was called "Has Bahçe ( Has Garden)" duringSultan Ahmet the Firsts era was very popular during Sultan Murad the Fourth and Sultan Selim the Third eras. A pavilion called Yıldız, (Star) was built by Sultan Selim the Third for his mother Mihrişah Valide Sultan. The palace has 60 rooms and four hall rooms. These magnificent palaces wer decorated with engravings, geometric ornamets and scenic panels reflecting Baroque, Rococo and Islamic influences. Pavilions and summer palace were added to this compax and consequently it took the name Yıldız Palace during Sultan Abdülhamis era and became the fourth governmental centre of Empire.
