EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures the breathtaking view of the Sultans Palace, also known as the Dolmabahçe Palace, in Constantinople (now Istanbul, Turkey), taken in the year 1878. The Sultans Palace, a grandiose architectural masterpiece, served as the primary residence of the Ottoman sultans from 1856 until 1922. The palace, situated on the European side of Istanbul, is a stunning fusion of European and Oriental architectural styles, reflecting the Ottoman Empire's rich cultural heritage. The photograph showcases the palace's impressive facade, adorned with intricate details, ornate columns, and colorful tiles. The Bosphorus Strait, a natural waterway that separates Europe and Asia, can be seen in the background, adding to the palace's picturesque beauty.

The new palace was designed to showcase the Ottoman Empire's modernization and European influences, making it a symbol of the Ottoman Empire's power and wealth during the late 19th century. The photograph offers a glimpse into the past, transporting us back in time to an era of grandeur and opulence. The Sultans Palace remains a popular tourist destination today, attracting visitors from all over the world who are drawn to its historical significance and architectural beauty.
