The Baroque-Rococo style Küçüksu Pavilion catches the eye of any voyager on the Bosphorus. This beautiful pavilion is an example of the 19th century Ottoman imperial summer lodges of the sultans.
The beautiful Beylerbeyi Palace was built as a summer palace for the Ottoman dynasty. It was also used as a State Guest House. Among many European Royal guests who were hosted here, one of them was the protagonist of a love affair that did not deem religion and nationality as obstacles.
