EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph showcases The Ancient Villa Huber, also known as Huber Kosku or Huber Mansion, situated on the picturesque European shore of the Bosphorus in Tarabya, Istanbul. The exact construction date and architect of this ancient villa are uncertain, but it is believed to have been built in the late 19th century for Auguste Huber, a German weapons dealer. The villa's elegant design, reminiscent of Italian architecture, is attributed to D'Aronco, a renowned Italian architect. The Huber family resided in this magnificent mansion until their departure during the invasion of Constantinople after World War I. Subsequently, the villa passed through various hands until it was expropriated by the Turkish government in 1985 and converted into a Presidential summer residence.
