HOME OF THE SULTAN.-Growing tired of the crowded magnificence of their palace in the heart of Constantinople, the later sultans had built for them a more modern marble palace called Dolma Bagthehe. The Palace of Dolma Bagthcho was built on a sunny hillside slope overlooking the blue waters of the Bosphorous. Built in 1853 it has been the residence of the later sultans until 1922. Since that date it has been the residence of the President of the Turkish Republic. Kemal Ataturk.
