Dolmabahçe
Palace:
This area was originally the bay where the navy anchored
in the early periods when the Ottomans conquered
Istanbul. Between 1611-1614, this bay had been
filled in and a timber building with a large garden called "the Besiktas
Palace" had been built with the order of Sultan Ahmet I. The land of
the Besiktas Palace, which had become completely useless due to a fire, was
chosen
as teh site of the new palace by Sultan Abdulmecit I, since it was by the
sea side and close to the city center.
