Ethnography Museum
The Mahmut Arif-i Paşa Mansion, also known as the Governor's Mansion, was built in 1904 and used as the governor's mansion in the Republican Period. Architecturally, the mansion features the typical characteristics of a Turkish house with a symmetrical “central sofa plan”. As commonly seen in the traditional domestic architecture of Kahramanmaraş, the ground floor was constructed with a stone wall and bonding timbers, while the upper floors were lath and plaster.
The mansion was restored, and today serves as the Maraş Culture House and Ethnography Museum.
