The land, given by Sultan Murad IV to Emîrgûne Yusuf Pasha in the 17th century, takes its name from him. The Sarı (Yellow), Pembe (Pink) and Beyaz (White) pavilions, built between 1871 and 1878, still stand; the grounds were expropriated in 1940 and opened to the public as a park in 1943. Every April, the grove fills with colour during its tulip festival.
