Adile Sultan Palace
Adile Sultan Palace, also known as Adile Sultan Sarayı, is nestled along the banks of the Bosphorus in the Ortaköy district of Istanbul. Built in the 19th century for Adile Sultan, daughter of Sultan Mahmud II, this historical palace features a blend of Baroque and Ottoman architectural styles.
