Palais Bahia

The Palais Bahia, or Palace of the Favorite, was built by two powerful grand viziers at the end of the 19th century. This will be a relatively short gallery featuring mainly the elaborate ceilings, which were different in every apartment we visited.

This ceiling reminds me of a beautiful Oriental carpet.

Not quite a ceiling, but close to one, posted earlier:
