The '''Basketmakers' Kiosk''' ({{lang-tr|Sepetçiler Köşkü}}), also known as ''Sepetçiler Palace'' (''Sepetçiler Kasrı''), is a former [[Ottoman Empire|Ottoman]] pleasure palace located on the southern shore of [[Golden Horn]]'s mouth at Sarayburnu in the neighborhood of [[Sirkeci]] in [[Istanbul]], [[Turkey]].<ref>[http://studentweb.med.harvard.edu/SS125/html/weddingvenue.html Student web]</ref> <br />

== History ==<br />
Built in 1592 by [[Sultan]] [[Murad III]] and renovated by Sultan [[Mahmud I]] in 1739,<ref name="All about Turkey">[http://www.allaboutturkey.com/ist_pal.htm All about Turkey]</ref> it is the only surviving building from a row of many assorted pavilions and palaces constructed within the outer yard of [[Topkapı Palace]].<ref>[http://turkishdailynews.com.tr/article.php?enewsid=74907 ''Turkish Daily News'' June 4, 2007]</ref><br />
<br />
Served initially as the government's Foreign Press Office and International Press Center following its renovation,<ref>[http://www.turkeytravelplanner.com/galeri/istanbul/photopages/004.html Turkey Travel Planner]</ref> the prominent place with its indoor and open-air facilities for meetings and banquets is managed recently by [[Swissôtel]].<br />
<br />
The imperial structure, a former part of the Topkapı Palace complex, is situated on top of the ancient [[Walls of Constantinople#Golden Horn Wall|Golden Horn Wall]] at Marmaroporta ("Marble Gate") ({{lang-tr|Yalıköşkü Kapısı}}) just below Topkapı Palace. It was erected next to, yet no more existing, Yalı Köşkü, a waterfront pavilion, which was built by [[Selim I]] and served to many sultans as a place for reception of [[Kapudan Pasha]]s (fleet admirals)<ref>[http://www.tarihportali.net/tarih/index.php?topic=2615.0;wap2 History Portal] {{tr}}</ref> and for salutation of the fleet before setting sail to a campaign or after returning from a campaign.<ref>[http://www.atasatforum.com/v6/archive/index.php?t-17531.html Atasat Forum] {{tr}}</ref><br />
<br />
The palace on four floors with thick stone-built walls has spacious halls with high wooden doors. It has a panoramic view to the [[Galata Bridge]], the [[Galata Tower]], [[Karaköy]] and the [[Bosporus]]. The building was turned into a warehouse after alterations made in the 19th century. During the Republic era, it was used as an army pharmacy and then left empty until its restoration in the late 1980s.<ref name="All about Turkey"/> Renovation work, carried out with reference to old pictures, enabled the restoration of the building to its original state.<br />
<br />
The Basketmakers' Kiosk incorporates today a recommended restaurant named "Hammam" ({{lang-en|Turkish bath}}), which transforms into a nightclub in the late hours. The site hosts also musical events like jazz concerts during the annual [[Istanbul International Jazz Festival]].<ref>[http://www.turkishdailynews.com.tr/article.php?enewsid=47664 ''Turkish Daily News'' July 2, 2006]</ref><br />
