Domabahce Palace. This is the enterence gate into the palace. If you look close at the picture you will see a soldiar standing in the middle. He was standing like a statue. It was crazy.

One of the enterences into the palace.

The palace was big! If I lived in it, I would get lost in my own house. I know we did not even see half of it. A lot of it was closed off for repairs. They would not allow us to take pictures inside. There was a crystal staircase that was in the shape of a double horseshoe. Lots of chandeliers. Also a lot of assembly rooms for different discutions; The Blue room, The Red room, The Pink room. And no the room was not that color. It sits right along the shore line so people could enter the palace by boat right into the ceremonial hall that was beautiful. A masive chandelier hung in the center from the big domb ceiling. It was designed to hold 2,500 people, so that tells you how big it was.

We saw a kitty on the grounds and Preston was curious.
