Feriye Palace
The palace complex was commissioned by Sultan Abdülaziz (reigned 1861–76) in 1871, and designed by architect Sarkis Balyan.The buildings remained vacant for a period of time following the external deportation of the last caliph Abdülmecid II together with the court members.In 1927, the Maritime College (Turkish: Denizcilik Yüksek Okulu) settled in some buildings of Feriye Palace.[5] Part of the palace hosted the girls' section of Galatasaray High School when in 1967 the institution started mixed-gender education.[6] The main building, which is currently used by the university was originally known as İbrahim Tevfik Efendi Sahil Sarayı[7] In 1995, the section of the palace complex in state of neglect was restored by Kabataş Education Foundation, and turned into an upper-class restaurant, Feriye Lokantası.
