One of the most important historical monuments recommended during tourism tours in Istanbul is the Küçükçe Palace (Turkish: Küçüksu Kasrı), due to its unique facade and elegant interiors with elaborate motifs and patterns that combine the European and Ottoman Islamic cultures.
The construction of the Kujusko Palace dates back to the 17th century, where it was used for two centuries as a summer residence to recreate the sultans of the Ottoman Empire, who are hunting and riding, and was a two-storey wooden palace, and in the mid-19th century Sultan Abdul Majid made a decision to demolish it and build another palace of 3 stone floors on European style.
The modern Kujuxu Palace has been used for years as a headquarters to host official ceremonies and diplomatic missions to the Turkish Republic before turning it into a public museum for the public by 1996, becoming one of Istanbul’s most important palaces and one of the well-known tourist attractions in Turkey.
