The first palace in Turkey

These magnificent buildings are often used by countries as a way to project their cultural identity to the world. The Republic of Turkey, a country that combines the magic of history and the uniqueness of architecture, has entered prominent architects in a competition to build the Palace of the Nation, which represents the Turkish people.
