Visit The Florence Nightingale Museum
Housed within the Selimiye Army Barracks, the Florence Nightingale Museum is an enduring reminder of the Lady of the Lamp’s pioneering work here during the Crimean War. Nightingale, along with 37 other nurses, arrived at Selimiye in 1854 to find overcrowded wards and unsanitary conditions. She and her team immediately set about introducing standards of sanitation and nutrition – their work here led to the birth of modern nursing practices – and the death rate among wounded soldiers dropped dramatically.
Today, visitors can admire a number of Nightingale’s personal possessions and see the desk at which she worked. The barracks is still a military installation, so permission to visit must be secured in advance.
