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
Cumhurbaskanligi Sarayi in the Turkish Republic is the world's largest Presidential Palace, four times that of Versailles.
