The Palace of Venice (Italian: Palazzo di Venezia, Turkish: Venedik Sarayı) is a historic property in the Beyoğlu (formerly Pera) neighborhood of Istanbul, Turkey. Form the early 16th century to the late 1930s it has been the seat of diplomatic missions of, successively, the Republic of Venice, French Empire, Habsburg monarchy, and Kingdom of Italy to the Ottoman Empire. Following the latter's abolition in 1922 and subsequent relocation of the Italian embassy to the new capital of Ankara, the Palace of Venice has served as the Italian Consulate-General in Istanbul, as well as a residence for the ambassador when in town. The building was altered repeatedly following episodes of fire and disrepair, and the current structure mostly results from reconstruction in the 1910s. The large surrounding property also hosts the Italian school or Liceo Italiano di Istanbul, originally established in the 1880s by Austria-Hungary.

Deutsche Schule Istanbul

Deutsche Schule Istanbul (English: German School of Istanbul, shortened as DSI), with formal Turkish name Özel Alman Lisesi (English: Private German High School) or İstanbul Alman Lisesi (English: German High School of Istanbul) or simply Alman Lisesi (English: German High School) is a private international high school in the Beyoğlu district of Istanbul, Turkey. It is responsible to both the Federal Ministry of Education and Research of Germany and the Ministry of National Education of Turkey. It was established in 1868 as German and Swiss Citizens School Based upon Equality Principle, to serve to the German-speaking community in the city. In 1871, a building near Galata Tower was built for the school. The building took serious damage during the 1894 Istanbul earthquake, therefore, in 1897, the school moved to another building which is still being used by the school. After a few years, the school also started to accept Turkish speaking students also. In 1918, after World War I, the school was closed and the building was used by the occupation forces. After the declaration of the Republic on Turkey in 1923, the school was opened again in 1924. In 1925, it moved back to its actual building. It was closed once again in 1945 because of Turkey's political position against Germany during World War II, and the building was used by Beyoğlu High School for Girls. In 1953, the building was given back to Deutsche Schule Istanbul and the school is using the same building since then. Every alumni of the school gets an opportunity to take a matriculation exam to get an Abitur diploma. Alumni with the Abitur diploma are able to apply for any university in Austria, Germany or Switzerland. Deutsche Schule Istanbul is one of the two educational institutes in Turkey that has rights to give this diploma, along with the Istanbul High School.

The Church was purchased on May 25, 1857, by Armenian Catholics.The Turkish name of this temple is Surp Hovhan Vosgeperan Ermeni Katolik Kilisesi, because is it an Armenian church that belongs to the Catholic Roman Church, as opposed to the majority of the Armenian churches in the world, that are part of the Armenian Apostolic Church. Vosgeperan means Golden Mouthed in Armenian. This church is dedicated to Saint John Chrysostom, He was Archbishop of Constantinople (the original name of Istanbul), and he is considered an Early Church Father. He was a very notable preacher, famous for his eloquence and his many writings. (Hence the term Golden Mouthed). This church is located a few steps away from Taksim Square and the famous pedestrian boulevard Istiklal Caddesi. If you are not looking for it, you may miss it, since it is located behind a tall wall in a narrow street. Both the outer wall and the walls of the church are pink. Vosgeperan is not a very ornate or luxurious temple. It is rather simple and elegant, with many elements made of marble, gold and wood. The lamps, the altar and the pulpit are beautiful. When you are inside, the quiet atmosphere invites prayer and meditation.
