Çırağan Palace is one of the famous palaces of Istanbul which was completed in 1874. Before the palace there was an old wooden palace built in the Tulip Period. The architecture of the building, designed by Nikoğos Balyan, can be traced to the traces of the Spanish Alhambra Palace. When Sultan Abdulmecid does not like the palace built by his predecessor, a project is prepared with Western architectural style. The construction of the palace is estimated to cost about 4.5 million. In fact, borrowed from foreign countries.
The palace, which was destroyed several times and survived until today, gained this state in the Republic period. Çırağan Palace was used as a royal residence by the Ottoman Empire for a very short period. The palace takes its name from the Tulip Era and its entertainment. Abdulaziz lived here for a period and died in this palace.
The Çırağan Palace was renovated in 1990 and transformed into a luxury hotel and organization center with the same name.
