Kayseri City Square Monumental Tile Panel

Kayseri City Square Monumental Tile Panel

Located in Kayseri City Square, this monumental tile surface is the world's largest Iznik tile panel and was produced and installed by İznik Mavi Çini in 2013. Situated in a public space, the panel is a distinctive example demonstrating the applicability of Iznik tiles on large-scale architectural surfaces. The Seljuk double-headed eagle motif, pomegranate figures and classical Rumi patterns bring historical motifs together within a contemporary urban context.

The monumental tile panel located in Kayseri City Square was produced at an architectural scale to be perceived across a large public surface. Measuring 16 × 12 meters (192 m²), the panel consists of 3,072 tiles of 25 × 25 cm. It was produced in approximately 60 days and mounted on the exterior façade of a building on the square in September 2013. Because of its exterior location, it was made to withstand hot and cold weather conditions. Throughout the production process, particular emphasis was placed on surface continuity, color balance and the integrity of the pattern.

The panel was produced as part of the Culture Road (Silk Road) Project carried out by the Kayseri Metropolitan Municipality. The pattern is the “Seljuk Tree of Life” design commissioned by the municipality. The composition features the Seljuk double-headed eagle motif, pomegranate figures, classical Rumi patterns and interlacing borders, which bring the aesthetic language of traditional Turkish art onto an architectural surface. This approach allows the tile panel to function not merely as a decorative element, but as an architectural component that conveys a narrative within the public realm.

“A tile application on a public surface of this scale requires achieving both visual and technical harmony with the architecture. The Kayseri City Square panel is a monumental work developed with this balance in mind.”
— İznik Mavi Çini, Senior Architectural Projects Production Facility Manager
