    This is Dolmabahçe Palace, "located in the Beşiktaş district of Istanbul, Turkey, on the European coastline of the Bosphorus strait, [which] served as the main administrative center of the Ottoman Empire from 1856 to 1922, apart from a 22-year interval (1887–1909) in which Yıldız Palace was used. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dolmabah%C3%A7e_Palace To the left of the palace is Dolmabahçe Mosque. mosques.inistanbul.com/nm-Dolmabahce_Mosque-cp-117 A tinted version of this postcard, from the Harvard Fine Arts Library is at: archnet.org/library/images/one-image.jsp?location_id=9467...

  • chico945 said:
    The site of Dolmabahçe Palace was originally a bay on the Bosphorus that was reclaimed during the 18th century to become an imperial garden. It is from this garden that the name Dolmabahçe (Filled-in Garden) comes -- from the Turkish dolma meaning "filled" and bahçe meaning "garden."
