Venetian Palace, Official residence in Istanbul, Turkey.
The Venetian Palace is an official residence in Istanbul with Palladian architectural features including symmetrical facades and classical proportions. The building combines Venetian and Ottoman design elements in its layout and decorative details.
After Constantinople fell in the 1450s, this building served as an administrative and diplomatic center for Venice. The structure evolved over time as different powers adapted it to their needs.
The palace reflects a blend of Venetian and Ottoman artistic traditions in its decorated rooms and architectural choices. This mixing of styles shapes how the building looks and feels when you walk through it.
The palace is open to visitors through guided tours that show you the different rooms and their purposes. Wear comfortable shoes since you will walk through multiple levels and corridors.
The palace uses stones and columns taken from ancient Salamis, which you can see in the three-arched facade. A Venetian coat of arms carved at the center of this facade marks the original builder's identity.
