- This work titled "Dolmabahçe Palace" provides a comprehensive introduction to Dolmabahçe Palace, one of the most magnificent buildings built by the Ottoman Empire during the Westernisation process. Opened on 7 June 1856 and spanning an area of 110,000 square metres, this monumental structure is followed by a detailed discussion of the main venues of the palace on the route of visit. The book reveals the historical and aesthetic value of Dolmabahçe Palace by presenting its architectural structure, interior arrangements, art and ornamental elements accompanied by a rich visual material. The palace, which reflects an impressive synthesis of Baroque, Rococo, Neoclassical and traditional Ottoman architecture, offers a unique reading and visual experience to history buffs, art and architecture enthusiasts.
