Dolmabahçe Palace

Istanbul, Turkey

Dolmabahçe Palace in Istanbul, Turkey, is a magnificent 19th-century palace located on the European shore of the Bosphorus.

Built between 1843 and 1853 for Sultan Abdülmecid I, it served as the main administrative center of the late Ottoman Empire and was designed to reflect both Ottoman grandeur and European architectural styles such as Baroque and Rococo.
