Beylerbeyi Palace, Ottoman palace on the Asian shore of Bosphorus, Istanbul, Turkey.
The white marble palace features 24 rooms, 6 halls, and displays French clocks, Bohemian crystal chandeliers, and porcelain vases throughout its interior spaces.
Sultan Abdülaziz commissioned the palace in 1861, selecting architects Hagop and Sarkis Balyan to design this imperial summer residence completed in 1865.
The palace includes separate bathing areas for men and women, reflecting Ottoman social customs, with Egyptian reed matting used for floor insulation.
Visitors can access the palace Tuesday through Sunday from 9 AM to 6 PM, with guided tours available to explore the main buildings and gardens.
Sultan Abdulhamid II spent his final days carving furniture pieces while confined in this palace until his death in 1918.
