Palazzo Corpi, Neoclassical building in Beyoğlu, Turkey
The Palazzo Corpi stands four stories tall with marble floors, decorative frescoes, and Greek mythological figures painted across its interior walls.
Built between 1873 and 1882 for Genoese merchant Ignazio Corpi, the building became the first United States government-owned diplomatic property in Europe in 1907.
The palazzo features Italian architectural elements that reflect the strong European influence in Istanbul during the late nineteenth century.
The building contains 87 rooms, multiple restaurants, and social spaces, making it suitable for various gatherings and events throughout the year.
Ambassador John Leishman secured the funds to purchase the palazzo through a poker game with congressional members, marking an unusual acquisition method.
