Beylerbeyi Palace was thought to
serve as a summer residence of Ottoman
sultans and a state guest house
to entertain the foreign heads of state
and sovereigns and it was constructed
on demand of the sultan of the period,
Sultan Abdülaziz (1861 - 1876). There
are total 6 halls, 24 rooms, 1 hamam
and 1 bathroom at two storeys. Beylerbeyi
Palace, which was constructed
as a mixture of Western and Eastern
styles, has the layout characteristics of
traditional Turkish House with Harem
and Mabeyn Sections.
Two Sea Kiosks were built as double,
one belonging to Mabeyn and the other
to Valide Sultan (Harem); the kiosks
have the appearance of a garden pergola.
The kiosks, which are one of the
most interesting design examples of
the new palace were identified in the
archives by the names, pointing out
the originality of the design, as Çadır
Köşkleri (Tent Kiosks), Nevresm (new
design, new model). Octagonal covers
of the kiosks are decorated with different
animal figures.
Beylerbeyi Palace is also an important
artifact in terms of its location within
the landscape and is one of the most
distinguished examples of coast palaces.
Beylerbeyi Palace, which is located
at the Anatolian side of Bosphorus
at Üsküdar district is in a large garden.
The garden of Beylerbeyi Palace has
the appearance of a rich coppice forest
with terrace gardens at the back
Marble Kiosk is one of the buildings
from the period of Sultan Mahmud
II, which survived until today. It was
given this name due to its marble
covered surfaces. As we learn from
the references of the period another
names of the kiosk are Serdab
and Mahmud Kiosk. It was given the
name Serdáb since it is buried into
the fourth terrace behind the pool.
Yellow Kiosk, which is located on the
fourth terrace garden of Beylerbeyi
Palace, considering with the area it
is located on, may be thought to be
used for resting purposes. It is on the
northeast of the land of the palace, on
the fourth terrace.
Ahır (Stable) Kiosk is located on the
last terrace of the Palace’s garden,
slightly farther from the Marble Kiosk.
It has some characteristics reflecting
the attitude of Ottoman towards
horse culture. In its entrance, there are
figures of horses and other animals on
the ceiling. Stable section consists of
total 20 divisions on both sides. There
are reliefs with horse head and eye
figures on the chandeliers and other
elements.
