Encyclopedic overview
Beylerbeyi Palace interior Sultan's bedroom
The Beylerbeyi Palace (Turkish: Beylerbeyi Sarayı) is a 19th-century Ottoman palace located in the Beylerbeyi neighborhood of Istanbul’s Üsküdar district, on the Asian shore of the Bosporus. Commissioned by Sultan Abdulaziz and completed between 1861 and 1865, the palace served as a summer residence and a place to host foreign dignitaries. Its design combines European architectural influences, particularly Neo-Baroque, with traditional Ottoman interior decoration. Today, it functions as a museum open to the public.
