Destination
Yari Açik Cezaevi
The place of the original inscription, located above the central entrance with stepped wooden columns on both sides of the “U”-planned Yarı Açık Cezaevi, can be seen. According to the five-line inscription written on marble, the building was constructed in 1902 by Sivas Governor Reşit Akif Paşa as the Sanayi Mektebi (Sanat Okulu). Yarı Açık Cezaevi was used as the Carpet Workshop of the Sanat Okulu and, in later years, was separated from the other buildings of the school because of the road passing in front of the structure.
