The Genoese Palace (Turkish: Ceneviz Sarayı; Italian: Palazzo del Comune, lit. 'Palace of the Commune'), alternatively known as the Palace of the Podestà (Turkish: Podesta Sarayı), is a medieval palace in Galata (the modern Karaköy quarter in the Beyoğlu district of Istanbul), which was a colony of the Republic of Genoa between 1273 and 1453.
It was built in 1314 (damaged by fire in 1315 and repaired in 1316)[1][2] by Montano De Marini,[3] the Podestà of Galata.[1][2] In terms of design it was modeled after the 13th-century wing of the Palazzo San Giorgio in Genoa, Italy.[1]
The building's appearance remained largely unchanged until 1880, when its front (southern) facade on Bankalar Caddesi (facing the Golden Horn), together with about two-thirds of the building, was demolished for constructing the street's tramway line.[2] The front facade was later reconstructed in the 1880s with a different style and became a 5-floor office building named Bereket Han,[2] while its rear (northern) facade on Kart Çınar Street (and the remaining one-third of the palace building) has retained the materials and design of the original structure, but needs restoration.[1][2]
It is a short walk to the left (west) of the Camondo Steps, on Kart Çınar Street, which was historically known as the Rue Camondo in the 19th and early 20th centuries.[4]
In 2021 the Genoese coat-of-arms of Luchino De Fazio,[3] the Podestà of Pera[3] (dating from c. 1446–1447),[3] on the building's surviving rear facade on Kart Çınar Street, was stolen.[2]
In 2022 the building was put up for sale after years of neglect.[1][5]
