The Prinkipo Greek Orphanage (Turkish: Prinkipo Rum Yetimhanesi; also Prinkipo Palace or Büyükada Greek Orphanage) is a historic building on the Turkish island of Büyükada. With 20,000 square meters of usable space, it is the largest wooden building in Europe and the second largest in the world. From 1903 to 1964 it was an orphanage. Over time, more than 5,800 orphans lived in the home. Wikipedia

Football pitch in the hillside. Attaturk's statue facing the pitch.

The largest wooden building in Europe but unfortunately inaccessible and in dilapidated condition. The ancient Greek orphanage on the island is in a condition that cannot last much longer.
