From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
A presidential palace is the official residence of the president in some countries. However, some countries do not call the official residence of their head of state a "palace " or use the building only as a workplace separate from the president's actual home. Some presidential palaces were once the official residences to monarchs in former monarchies that were preserved during those states' transition into republics . The Cumhurbaşkanlığı Sarayı in the Turkey is the world's largest Presidential Palace, four times that of Versailles.[1]
