Rijeka - Turska Kuća
Centar-Sušak | Verdijeva ul.
The Turkish House, built around 1879, is known as the Bartolich-Gelletich-Nicolaides palace, according to Antonia Bartolich Gelletich from Rijeka, the widow of Captain Tommas Gelleticha.
In 1891, Antonia married the Turkish and Greek consul Nikolayi Nikolai Effendi de Nicolaides who was 22 years younger than her.
The mix of Greek, Turkish and Arabian influences is the testimony to the multicultural and multiethnic Rijeka from the beginning of the 20th century. Nikolaides’s house, redesigned in the Neo-Moorish style, is the only building of its kind in Croatia.
