presidential palace

{{Short description|Official residence of a president}}

A presidential palace is the official residence of the president in some countries. Some presidential palaces were once the official residences to monarchs in former monarchies that were preserved during those states' transition into republics. Some other presidential palaces were once the official residencies of governors in former colonies or subnational divisions that were preserved during their transition to independent states.{{Cite news|url=https://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/worldnews/europe/turkey/11210083/Turkeys-president-moves-into-worlds-biggest-palace-costing-384-million.html|title=Turkey's president moves into world's biggest palace costing £384 million|work=Telegraph.co.uk|access-date=2017-07-13|language=en}}
