## About

Büyükada Rum Yetimhanesi is a historical structure located in the Adalar district of İstanbul, Türkiye. Situated on a hilltop on Büyükada, it is recognized as one of the world's largest wooden buildings. Originally conceived as a hotel and casino, the six-story, 20,000 square meter edifice was later acquired by the Greek Orthodox Patriarchate and operated as an orphanage. The building stands as a testament to past grandeur and sorrow, with its substantial wooden construction visible from a distance.
