Bosporus from the park.

n the Byzantine era, the
entire area, where today the park stretches, was covered with
cypress trees and known as \"Kyparades\" or \"Cypress Forest\".
It became known as \"Feridun Bey Park\", when the uninhabited
land was granted in the mid-16th century to Ni?anc? Feridun Bey,
a Lord Chancellor in rank in the Ottoman
Empire.</strong><strong>
/strong><strong>
n the 17th century,
Ottoman sultan Murad IV (reigned 1623-1640) presented the estate
to Emir G�ne Han, a Safavid Persian commander, who surrendered
his sieged castle without any resistance, and followed him back
to Istanbul. The name \"Feridun Bey Park\" was changed to
\"Emirg�ne\", which in time became corrupted to
\"Emirgan\"</strong><strong>
/strong><strong>
uring the
centuries, the estate\'s owner changed several times, and by the
end of the 1860s, it was owned by Khedive Ismail Pasha (reigned
1863-1879), Ottoman governor of Egypt and Sudan. The area was
used as the backyard of a large wooden yal? he built down at
Bosporus. Further, he built within the park area three wooden
pavilions, which still
exists.</strong><strong>
/strong><strong>
he heirs of the
Khedive family sold the estate in the 1930s to Satvet L�tfi
Tozan, a wealthy Turkish arms dealer, who granted the park
grounds, the three pavilions included, later in the 1940s to the
City of Istanbul during office of Governor and Mayor L�tfi
K?rdar (1938-1949).</strong>
strong>Park today</strong>
he
park, owned and administered today by the Metropolitan
Municipality of Istanbul, covers an area of 117 acres (470,000
m2) on a hillside, and is enclosed by high walls.
nside the
park with two decorative ponds are plants of more than 120
species. The most notable rare trees of the park\'s flora
are:<strong> Stone Pine, Turkish pine, Aleppo </strong><em>Pine,
Blue Pine, Eastern White Pine, Maritime Pine, Japanese Cedar,
Norway Spruce, Blue Spruce, Atlas Cedar, Lebanon Cedar,
Himalayan cedar, Beech, Ash tree, Sapindus, Babylon Willow,
Hungarian Oak, Colorado White Fir, Maidenhair tree, California
incense-cedar, Coast Redwood and Camphor

any jogging tracks a
nd
picnic tables make the Emirgan Park a very popular recreation
area for the local people, especially during the weekends and
holidays. The three historic pavilions, called after their
exterior color as the Yellow Pavilion, the Pink Pavilion and the
White Pavilion were restored in time between 1979-1983 by the
Touring and Automobile Club of Turkey under its CEO �elik
G�lersoy, and opened to the public as cafeteria and
restaurant.
he Emirgan Park is closely associated with the
tulip, the traditional flower, which gave its name to an era
(1718-1730) of the Ottoman Empire. A special garden was
established in Emirgan Park in the 1960s to revive the city\'s
tradition of tulip cultivation. Since 2005, an annual
international tulip festival is organized here every April
making the park attractive and very colorful with these
flowers.

Hey Liz , I was in Istanbul last October and I went to Emigran
Park - it is a beautiful and huge park and walked around for
over 2 hours - the Pink Pavilion was built by Khedive Ismail
Pasha of Egypt - I was there on a Saturday and there were a
number of weddings taking place there - I then went to the
Sabanci Museum which is on the Bosphorus right outside of the
Emigran Park - the Sabanci Museum has an incredible collection
of original pieces of Calligraphie from Ottomon period.

the national flower of Turkey and hold an important place in the
culture of Turkey. Not all are Tulips native to Turkey, but the
name itself (tulip) comes from the Turkish word \"tulbend,\"
which means \"turban.\" There was even a period of time in
Turkish history named for this flowers. The period in Turkish
history between 1718-1730 is called the \"Tulip Era.\" This was
a period of peace and enjoyment. Soon, tulips became an
important symbol in the arts. In embroidery and tapestry work
throughout Turkey, tulip designs could be seen. In addition, the
tulip was also praised in poetry and they were used in
paintings. To this day, the tulip is still considered an
embodiment of perfection and beauty. The best place to go for
the Tulip Festival in Turkey is Emirgan Park in Istanbul, Turkey
(the Tulip Festival takes place in April). ��
