Located on a hill over Kanlica village on Bosphorus, this beautiful Art Nouevo style summer palace was built by architect Delfo Seminati in 1907 for Egyptian Khedive Abbas Hilmi Pasa who spent most of his time in Istanbul. Hilmi Pasa sold the mansion to Istanbul Municipality for a very small fee in 1930s. Stayed used and deserted nearly 50 years, Hidiv Palace was restored to is former glory by Turkish Touring and Automobile Club under the guidance of its director Celik Gulersoy. The palace reopened its gates as a hotel restaurant complex and became one of the popular spots for the people of Istanbul like the other historical spots restored by Touring and Automobile Club. |
