Ciragan Palace, Palace hotel on Bosphorus waterfront in Istanbul, Turkey
The Ciragan Palace extends along the European shore of the Bosphorus with classical Ottoman architecture, marble columns, and gardens covering 80,000 square meters.
Built between 1863 and 1871 by Sultan Abdulaziz, the palace served as a residence for Ottoman sultans until a fire in 1910 severely damaged the structure.
During the Tulip Period of the 18th century, the palace grounds hosted celebrations with illuminated gardens, giving the palace its name from Persian word for light.
The restored palace now functions as a five-star hotel, featuring 310 rooms, conference facilities, restaurants, and a spa with indoor pool.
The palace includes an original gate from 1871, made entirely of marble, connecting the main building to the imperial gardens through an underground tunnel.
