Adile Sultan Palace
Sultan Abulmecit had this summer mansion built-in in 1856 as a gift for his beloved sister, Sultan Adile. It was designed as a 19th-century palace, the construction of which was started by the architect Sarkis Balyan and inspired by western architecture. Adile Sultan, the sister of Abdulmecit, is a female sultan who makes contemporary breakthroughs for women and is especially interested in the education of orphan girls. After her husband's death, she moved from the palace and donated it to the state to be used as a girls' high school.
It was used as a school until 1986 for the purpose it donated, but after a fire disaster, it was converted into a museum and event space. Located on the Asian coast, in the middle of the Bosphorus, Adile Sultan Palace is one of the venues used for prestigious events with its unique historical ambiance and unique Bosphorus view.
