Entrance, Beylerbeyi Palace, Istanbul, Turkey
The Beylerbeyi Palace (Turkish: Beylerbeyi Sarayı, Beylerbeyi meaning "Lord of Lords") is located in the Beylerbeyi neighbourhood of Istanbul, Turkey at the Asian side of the Bosphorus. An Imperial Ottoman summer residence built in the 1860s, it is now situated immediately north of the 1973 Bosphorus Bridge.
Beylerbeyi Palace was commissioned by Sultan Abdülaziz. Designed in the Second Empire style by Sarkis Balyan, Beylerbeyi Palace seems fairly restrained compared to the excesses of the earlier Dolmabahçe or Küçüksu palaces.
The palace was the last place of captivity of the deposed sultan Abdulhamid II from 1912 until his death there in 1918.
