EDITORS COMMENTS
1. Title: "The Majestic Dolmabahce Palace in Istanbul: A Grand Legacy of the Ottoman Empire" The captivating image before you showcases the breathtaking Dolmabahce Palace, located in the heart of Istanbul, Turkey. Commissioned by Sultan Abdul Mecit (r. 1839-1861), this architectural marvel was designed by the father-son duo of Nikogos Balyan, with construction completed in 1853. The palace, a striking blend of European and Ottoman architectural influences, boasts a vast throne room at its core, flanked by two lower wings. The throne room's grandeur is accentuated by the crystal staircase and the alabaster bathroom, both of which are testament to the opulence of the era. The palace, originally built as a summer residence for the Ottoman sultans, was later used as the residence of Mustafa Kemal Ataturk, the founder of modern Turkey. Today, it serves as a symbol of Turkey's rich history and cultural heritage, and is occasionally used to host official visitors. The Dolmabahce Palace, also known as Dolma Bahçe or Dolmabahçe Sarayi in Turkish, is situated on the European side of Istanbul, overlooking the Bosphorus Strait. Its location on the shores of the Bosphorus, with its stunning views of the water and the city skyline, adds to its allure. This postcard, depicting the palace in its glory during the 1910s, offers a glimpse into the past, transporting us back in time to an era of grandeur and opulence. The Dolmabahce Palace stands as a testament to the architectural prowess and the cultural richness of the Ottoman Empire.
