Yıldız Palace, Ottoman imperial palace in Beşiktaş, Turkey
The Yıldız Palace complex spans across multiple buildings with architectural elements from both European and Ottoman styles, including the State Apartments and Büyük Mabeyn Köşkü.
Sultan Abdülhamid II moved the Ottoman court from Dolmabahçe to Yıldız Palace in 1880, making it the fourth seat of Ottoman administration in Istanbul.
The palace houses the Imperial Porcelain Factory, which produced fine ceramics, and contains the Sedefli Salon decorated with mother-of-pearl inlays.
Visitors can access different sections of the palace complex through guided tours, with the gardens open to the public for recreational activities.
The Şale Kiosk within the palace grounds features Swiss chalet architecture, marking an unusual fusion of European alpine design in an Ottoman imperial setting.
