==History==
Initially planned for use as the building of Ministry of Post and Telegraph () in the Ottoman Empire, its construction began in 1905, and was completed in 1909. An inscription in Ottoman Turkish alphabet on the tiled panel above the main entrance denotes "Ministry of Post and Telegraph". The building was renamed "New Post Office" ((トルコ語:Yeni Postane)) in the 1930s, some time after the establishment of the Turkish Republic, and then "Grand Post Office" ((トルコ語:Büyük Postane)).
In the early years of the Republic, between 1927 and 1936, the building temporarily housed Istanbul Radio.〔 From 1958 on, it was used solely for postal and telegraphy services. Today, the ground floor is the Sirkeci Post Office, the first floor is occupied by its directorate while the second and third floors are offices for the regional post directorate of Istanbul's European side.〔
On May 6, 2000, part of the building was converted into Istanbul Postal Museum occupying four stories. The museum informs visitors about the history of communication and telecommunication services in the country that officially began on October 23, 1840. The museum consists of four sections for post, telegraph, telephone and postage stamps.〔
