The Tiled Kiosk is an Ottoman pavilion within the outer walls of Topkapı Palace in Istanbul, built in 1472 by Sultan Mehmed II as a pleasure retreat. Set in the palace's outermost reaches near Gülhane Park, the structure showcases Ottoman architectural style and takes its name from the profusion of İznik tiles adorning its interior. Originally known as the Glazed Kiosk, it served as the Imperial Museum from 1875 to 1891 before opening to the public in 1953 as a museum of Turkish and Islamic art. Today it functions as part of the Istanbul Archaeology Museums, housing the Museum of Islamic Art and displaying notable collections of İznik tiles and Seljuk pottery.
