Ciragan Palace
Ciragan Palace, located in Istanbul's Besiktas district, is one of the best examples of a late Ottoman dynasty palace. It has been converted into a Kempinski 5-star hotel, but it remains an architectural marvel with significant historical and cultural significance. Anyone visiting Istanbul should see this magnificent palace, which has become a symbol of the city.
Ceragan, the palace's neighborhood, was named after the Persian word for torch, cerag, because the famous Ottoman celebrations, the Ciragan Festivals, were held at night in tulip gardens lit by torches. Sultan Abdulmecit commissioned Armenian architect Nigogos Balyan to design this palace. The building on the European side of the Bosphorus, between the districts of Besiktas and Ortaköy, was built with loans obtained for the restructuring of Istanbul's water system and the construction of a new railway. The project took approximately 12 years to complete. It was the Ottoman dynasty's final residence.
In 1910, a fire broke out in the building's central heating ducts, consuming the interior but leaving the exterior walls intact. However, thanks to renovations and a new hotel addition in the 1990s, it is now a luxury hotel and a member of the Leading Hotels of the World, managed by Kempinski, one of the world's largest hotel management companies. The most opulent hotel in Turkey has now opened its doors here. The complex's other buildings are now used as classrooms. Inside the palace section, there is a magnificent restaurant with a view of the Bosphorus.
L'architettura del Palazzo Ciragan
The Ciragan Palace was designed by Armenian palace architect Nigoayos Balyan and built by his sons Sarkis and Hagop Balyan between 1863 and 1867 during the reign of Sultan Abdulaziz, the last of the Ottoman sultans to build his palace rather than rely on those of his forefathers. The floor, ceiling, and roof were all made of wood, while the exterior was made of marble in a variety of colors. A lovely marble bridge connects the palace to the Yildiz Palace on the hill behind it. The palace is separated from the rest of the world by a high garden wall. Work on the palace's interior and exterior continued until 1872. On May 30, 1876, a few months after his dethronement, Sultan Abdulaziz was discovered dead in his beautiful palace. Sultan Murad V, his nephew, occupied the Ciragan Palace but reigned for only 93 days. He was deposed by his brother Abdul Hamid II, who claimed he was mentally unstable, and died while under house arrest on August 29, 1904.
Il 14 novembre 1909 il sultano Mehmed V autorizzò il Parlamento ottomano a riunirsi in questo edificio durante la seconda monarchia costituzionale. Tuttavia, solo due mesi dopo, il 19 gennaio 1910, il palazzo fu distrutto da un incendio, con solo le pareti esterne sopravvissute. Il giardino adiacente, che era stato precedentemente utilizzato come campo da calcio dal club locale Beşiktaş J.K., fu acquistato nel 1987 da una società giapponese, che riprese il palazzo danneggiato e costruì un complesso alberghiero all'avanguardia nel giardino adiacente. Mentre l'edificio dell'hotel moderno accolse per la prima volta gli ospiti nel 1990, il palazzo ristrutturato non lo fece fino al 1992. È stato trasformato in un hotel a cinque stelle Kempinski con camere di lusso e ristoranti a due sedi per gli ospiti dell'hotel.
