Dolmabahce Palace - the largest palace in Turkey and home to 6 Ottoman Sultans in the 1800s. When Mustafa Kemal Ataturk came to power, it became his presidential residence during summers. Ataturk spent his last days in medical treatment in this palace, where he eventually died in 1938.
We were not allowed to take pictures inside the palace, but I gotta tell you, it has a very luxurious interior, the kind that you couldn't stop yourself from saying "Waaaaahhh" out loud, very impressive, that I wonder if Sultans in Malaysia have the same kind of extravagance hmmm...
P/S: Dear SRB got what he wished for in this palace. He finally got to see the 'royal toilets' hahah!
