Description
Starting from 1856, the palace hosted six successive sultans—Sultan Abdülmecid (1839–1861), Sultan Abdülaziz (1861–1876), Sultan Murad V (1876), Sultan Abdülhamid II (1876–1909), Sultan Mehmed V Reşad (1909–1918), and Sultan Mehmed VI Vahideddin (1918–1922)—as well as the last Caliph, Abdülmecid (1922–1924). Following the proclamation of the Republic, Mustafa Kemal Atatürk stayed in the palace intermittently for a total of four years between 1927 and 1938, conducting his official work and ultimately passing away there. The palace served as the presidential residence during İsmet İnönü's term until 1949, and in 1984, it was opened to visitors as a museum-palace, restored to its original layout and furnishings from the Ottoman era.
