Aynalıkavak Palace, Ottoman palace in Hasköy, Turkey
The Aynalıkavak Palace features a two-story structure with traditional Turkish architecture, incorporating wooden elements and large windows overlooking the Golden Horn waterfront.
The Balyan family, distinguished Armenian architects of the Ottoman Empire, constructed this palace during Sultan Mahmud II's reign in the early nineteenth century.
The palace stands as a testament to Ottoman architectural traditions, displaying the fusion of Eastern and Western design elements common in imperial buildings.
Visitors can access the palace through guided tours that explain the architectural features, royal customs, and historical significance of each room.
The name Aynalıkavak derives from the venetian mirrors that once decorated its walls and the poplar trees that surrounded the palace grounds.
