Located on the scenic Piyasa Street in Sarıyer, the famous Aşk-ı Memnu Mansion is more than just a filming location — it's a beautiful blend of history, art, and architecture. Once owned by Vehbi Koç, founder of Koç Holding, the mansion has now become a cultural hub open to the public.

Following the show's immense success, the site drew public attention and interest. Today, it serves as a permanent museum under the name Vehbi Koç Büyükdere House and is managed by the Vehbi Koç Foundation.
Currently, the mansion houses a kilim (traditional rug) museum, showcasing a curated collection of Turkish weaving art. This elegant exhibition offers both cultural insight and aesthetic pleasure to visitors interested in traditional craftsmanship.
