Many great empires throughout history have left behind fascinating architectural treasures that can still be appreciated today.

A remarkable example is the Dolmabahce Palace, built by the rulers of the Ottoman Empire and located in Istanbul, Turkey.

Construction on this massive palace lasted for more than 12 years, beginning in 1843 and ending in 1856. No wonder—it has 285 rooms and 68 toilets!

With its opulent design, the rooms of the palace are also replete (see definition and hear pronunciation below) with gold and crystal.

In fact, 14 tons of gold were used just to cover the ceilings!

Cool word question of the day: Would you want to live in a palace that is replete with gold and other precious materials?

Replete: Filled or abundantly supplied.
