About

Kucuksu Palace, also known as Küçüksu Kasrı, is a stunning imperial Ottoman palace situated on the Asian shore of the Bosphorus Strait. Built in the mid-19th century under Sultan Abdülmecid I, it served as a summer residence and hunting lodge, rather than a permanent dwelling. The palace is a beautiful example of neo-Baroque architecture, with intricate facades and opulent interiors that reflect European influences blended with traditional Ottoman elements. Its picturesque waterfront location and beautifully decorated rooms offer a glimpse into the luxurious lives of the Ottoman sultans, making it a captivating historical site.
