The city’s 700-year-old administrative center
Kastamonu Government House is located at a point overlooking Kastamonu Cumhuriyet Square and the city.
It was built in 1902 by the great architect and artist Vedat Tek, one of the founders of Republican architecture.
The building adds a unique texture to the city with the 19th century buildings around it. In terms of architectural style, it is a magnificent work of western - eastern synthesis.
It has been serving as a governorship since the day it was built.
Since the 14th century, Cumhuriyet Square has been shaped as a center where Kastamonu and its surroundings were governed.
The palace and outbuildings where the principality was administered during the Candaroğulları Principality period were located in today’s Cumhuriyet Square. This area, which has been called Saray Mevkii since then, has been an administrative center for 7 centuries.
Cumhuriyet Square began to gain its current appearance during the architectural and artistic transformation process that began with the Ottoman westernization in the second half of the 19th century. From these dates on, the square has been surrounded by buildings, many of which are still standing today, such as the Provincial Printing House dated 1839, the telegraph office, which was established in 1860 and serves in French and Ottoman, Kastamonu High School, which was built in 1885, a Prison, dated 1887, Recruiting office dated 1890, Provincial Governorate Building dated 1902, the building of the Provincial Fund (Ziraat Bank) dated 1905.
Located in the heart of the Cumhuriyet Square, Şerife Bacı Monument is a monument and a tribute to the invisible heroes of the victory as well as the efforts of the Heroic Turkish Army in winning the Turkish War of Independence.
