Çırağan Palace, located in Istanbul, Turkey, is an opulent former Ottoman palace situated on the European shores of the Bosphorus. Originally commissioned by Sultan Abdülaziz in the 19th century, the palace exemplifies a blend of Ottoman and Baroque architectural styles. After falling into disrepair, it was restored and transformed into a luxury hotel in the 1990s.
