ISTANBUL - DOLMABAHCE SARAYI

Dolmabahçe Sarayı'nın bugün bulunduğu alan, bundan dört yüzyıl öncesine kadar Osmanlı Kaptan-ı Derya'sının gemileri demirlediği, Boğaziçi'nin büyük bir koyuydu. Geleneksel denizcilik törenlerinin yapıldığı bu koy zamanla bataklık hâline geldi. 17. yüzyıl'dan itibaren doldurulmaya başlanan koy, padişahların dinlenme ve eğlenceleri için düzenlenen bir "hasbahçe"ye dönüştürüldü. Bu bahçede çeşitli dönemlerde yapılan köşkler ve kasırlar topluluğu, uzun süre Beşiktaş Sahilsarayı adıyla anıldı.

ISTANBUL - DOLMABAHCE PALACE

Dolmabahçe Palace was the first European-style palace in Istanbul and was built by Sultan Abdülmecid between 1842 and 1853, at a cost of five million Ottoman gold pounds, the equivalent of 35 tons of gold. 14 tons of gold was used only to adorn the interior ceiling of the palace. The world's largest Bohemian crystal chandelier, a gift from Queen Victoria, is at the center hall. The chandelier has 750 lamps and weighs 4.5 tons. Dolmabahçe has the largest collection of Bohemian and Baccarat crystal chandeliers in the world, and even the staircases are made of Baccarat crystal.

Merhaba Cagatay,
a curious frame for a beautiful view of the Bosphorus and the asiatic Istambul side.
I visited that Palace during a trip to Istanbul two years ago and it is magnificent inside and outside, too. Beautiful gardens and the graet view to Bosphorus!
A nice compo! TFS!
