Hasanpaşa Gashouse was founded in the late nineteenth century to provide energy for the Anatolian side of Istanbul. Closed in 1993 after the switch to natural gas, it was one of many built to illuminate the city's streets at the time. Thanks to the long-running, diligent efforts of Hasanpaşa residents and an extensive restoration carried out by the Istanbul Metropolitan Municipality, the 130 year-old power plant was converted and gifted to the city as a museum and community space in 2021. Located at the heart of its neighbourhood in Kadıköy, today's Gashouse is called Müze Gazhane and offers young people stages, libraries and spaces for working, exhibitions and events open 24 hours a day. When you visit this vibrant space, spend some time relaxing in the garden with the resident cats. As you leave, heading for Söğütlüçeşme Train Station or the Yeldeğirmeni neighbourhood, you will come across narrow streets where everything seems to be stacked on top of each other, and where the bustling neighbourhood buzzes with noise.
