ARCHITECT SINAN (KOCA MIMAR SINAN)

Levon Bey Balyan (1855-1925)

Levon bey was the son of Nigoğos Bey Balyan. He was born in Istanbul in 1855 and died in Paris in 1925. After graduating from the Ecoles des Beaux Arts in Paris, he retured to Istanbul and worked with his uncle Sarkis Balyan for many years. There is no evidence that he designed any buildings himself.
