` PS: According to this  the Dolmabahçe Palace is Baroque and Rococo (presumably 19th century style!) the larger pictire on its own site gives a better impression. Neoclassical portico, I see where they get the Rococo idea from all that moulding on the wall, but there are no broken pediments - obviously a second empire influence in there too with a little ``Italianate`` the way the portico is also a double loggia. To be honest, it such a hybrid, I would be tempted to call it Belle Époque as it looks like an hotel in Biaritz.  |  `
