PALÁCIO de BEYBERLEYI Istambul-Turquia
Progressão automática
The Beylerbeyi Palace (Turkish Beylerbeyi
Sarayi) is a palace located in Beylerbeyi
neighbourhood of Istanbul, Turkey at the Asian
side of the Bosphorus, situated just north of the
Bosphorus Bridge today. Designed in the baroque
style by Sarkis Balyan, Beylerbeyi Palace seems
fairly restrained compared to the excesses of the
earlier Dolmabahçe or Küçüksu palaces. It was
commissioned by Sultan Abdülaziz (1830-1876) and
built between 1861 and 1865 as a summer residence
and a place to entertain visiting heads of state.
Empress Eugénie of France visited Beylerbeyi on
her way to the opening of the Suez Canal in 1869
and had her face slapped by the sultan's mother
for daring to enter the palace on the arm of
Abdül Aziz. Other regal visitors to the palace
included the Duke and Duchess of Windsor. The
palace was the last place of captivity of the
deposed sultan Abdulhamid II from 1912 until his
death there in 1918. The palace looks its most
attractive from the Bosphorus, from where its two
bathing pavilions, one for the harem (women's
only) and the other for the selamlik (men's
only), can best be seen. One of the most
attractive rooms is the reception hall, which has
a pool and fountain. Running water was popular in
Ottoman houses for its pleasant sound and cooling
effect in the heat. Egyptian straw matting is
used on the floor as a form of insulation. The
crystal chandeliers are mostly Bohemian and the
carpets are from Hereke. Despite her initial
reception, Empress Eugénie of France was so
delighted by the elegance of the palace that she
had a copy of the window in the guest room made
for her bedroom in Tuileries Palace, in Paris,
France.
