Küçüksu Palace, Ottoman palace on Bosphorus Strait, Turkey
The Küçüksu Palace stands with three levels near the water, featuring neo-baroque architecture with ornate balconies and Italian marble fireplaces throughout the structure.
Sultan Abd-ul-Mejid I commissioned the Balyan family to construct this palace in 1857, replacing a previous wooden structure from the reign of Mahmud I.
The interior spaces display the refinement of Ottoman design through Bohemian crystal chandeliers, Hereke carpets, and traditional Turkish room arrangements.
The palace opens to visitors as a museum, presenting original furnishings and decorative elements across multiple floors connected by grand staircases.
The building appeared as an Azerbaijan mansion in the James Bond film 'The World Is Not Enough' and later in the Bollywood production 'Ek Tha Tiger'.
