Alexandre Vallaury

Alexandre Vallaury (1850–1921) was a French-Ottoman architect who established architectural education in the Ottoman Empire at the School of Fine Arts in Constantinople. Nicknamed "architect of the city" (Ottoman Turkish: Mimar-ı Şehir) by Osman Hamdi Bey, Vallaury, alongside his collaborator and palace architect Raimondo D'Aronco, was a leading practitioner of Orientalist eclecticism.
