About the Island

Located at the heart of the Marmara Sea, Democracy and Liberties Island has many unique sites and artworks to explore.

Platea in the Byzantine Period

This island, which the Byzantines called "Plati" (flat) or "Platea" because of its flat appearance, was used as a surveillance base, and was also one of the most feared exile places throughout the Byzantine history.

Yassıada in the Bulwer Era

British Ambassador Henry Bulwer, who bought Yassıada in 1858 with the permission of the Ottoman Sultan of the time, Sultan Abdülmecid, had two castles built, one in the west and the other in the middle of the island

Yassıada During the Naval Forces Command

Yassıada was purchased by the Turkish Naval Forces in 1947 during which tall buildings were built and old buildings were restored.

Democracy and Liberties Island in the New Era

With the transformation of Yassıada to the Democracy and Liberties Island, another dimension and meaning is attributed to the island which for the past sixty years was remembered by the grim memories of trial courts held for the Democrat Party government.
