Located in the famed Taksim Square, the new centre boasts a world-class opera hall with over 2,000 seats, a theatre hall, art galleries, restaurants, and a cinema. The inauguration, which took place as Turkey celebrates Republic Day, was attended by President Erdogan along with many Turkish actors and artists.
