#summervacay The Topkapi Palace, also known as the Old Palace, truly stands as a monumental testament to the Ottoman Empire! Perched majestically on a hilltop, it offers breathtaking panoramic views of the Bosphorus Strait. This strategic location, surrounded by the sea on three sides, allows the palace to directly overlook the strait – a brilliant choice for both defense and aesthetics. Spanning a vast area of approximately 700,000 square meters, the palace resembles a formidable rectangular fortress, encircled by a imposing 5-kilometer wall. If you view Topkapi Palace from the new city, across the Golden Horn, you'll immediately grasp the genius of its chosen site – it's both easy to defend and difficult to attack. With its seven grand gates and four sprawling courtyards, exploring Topkapi Palace gave me a feeling remarkably similar to visiting Beijing's Forbidden City. There's a shared sense of imperial scale, intricate design, and historical depth that truly makes them kindred spirits across continents. #TopkapiPalace #Istanbul #OttomanEmpire #Architecture #Bosphorus #HistoricalSite #Palace #TravelTurkey #ImperialHistory #TurkishCulture 🇹🇷👑

If you want to skip the crowds at the Ben Youssef Madrasa or the Bahia Palace, then the Dar El Bacha Museum is for you!

It was originally a governors Palace and the governor built it in a way that would rival the other beautiful buildings in the city so it’s not as old but it is stunningly beautiful.
