A short excursion from Istanbul, by boat or car, brings you the famous Dolmabache Palace,
located along the shores of the Bosporus. This relatively new building complex was the last residence
of Mustafa Kemal AtaTurk, the beloved late president of Turkey.
Dolmabache Palace was built from 1842 through 1853. This magnificent building with its amazing decorations and spacious halls,
is a major tourist attraction, definitely worth visiting.
