Power plant to be constructed on palace site in Turkey's northwest

An energy power plant will be built in the northwestern province of Edirne, at a location where ruins from the Ottoman-era Edirne Palace might be underground. 

The project, called the ?River Tunca Recreation and Energy Project,? aims to construct a power plant and recreational area on the garden of the Edirne Palace.
