Khedive Palace, Art Nouveau palace in Çubuklu, Istanbul, Turkey

The Khedive Palace stands on the Asian side of the Bosphorus, featuring decorative walls, stained glass windows, and a prominent square tower overlooking Istanbul Strait.

Built in 1907 for Abbas II, the last Khedive of Egypt and Sudan, the palace served as a summer residence until the City of Istanbul acquired it in 1937.

The palace integrates Italian Renaissance villa elements with neo-classical Ottoman architecture, displaying carved walls depicting fruits, flowers, and hunting scenes throughout its rooms.

The palace complex operates as an event venue with capacity for 1000 guests in summer and 450 in winter, offering indoor and outdoor spaces for gatherings.

A historic steam-powered elevator takes visitors to the rooftop terrace, while the entrance features a monumental fountain reaching the ceiling height.
