This is a museum of stone fragments taken from the demolition of ancient buildings.
It is situated a few hundred yards from the Selimiye mosque (St. Sophia)
and the building is believed to be a Venetian house or could be a renovated
medieval building. Here one can see pieces of stone work taken from ancient palaces
and Gothic churches. The outstanding exhibit is a magnificent Gothic window
from a nearby palace.
