   Located on the Bosphorus between Beşiktaş and Ortaköy, Çırağan Palace was commissioned by Sultan Abdülaziz and completed in 1871 by architect Sarkis Balyan. Built entirely of marble and adorned with intricate Ottoman motifs, it was once the residence of sultans and a venue for imperial receptions.
