Yildiz Palace

Yildiz Palace is built on the shores of the Bosphorus and is part of the national park. The vegetation of the park impresses with its exoticism. Once upon a time, Turkish sultans loved to rest here. The architecture of the palace combines classicism and baroque. The name in Turkish means "star". It is as beautiful as the stars in the sky. The beginning of construction dates back to 1880. The interiors are also impressive. The ceiling of the central hall sparkles with golden stars. And there's a handmade silk carpet on the floors. In one of the salons, the doors are inlaid with natural pearl. There is a male and female part of the palace. At different times, a gambling house, a congress hall operated on its territory, and since 1994 it has been a museum.

You can get by bus to the stop "Yahya-Efendi", high-speed tram or taxi.
