Photos of Topkapi Palace

an also see the Topkapi dagger, inlaid with 3 huge emerald gems weighing 3 kilograms, and the deep green seems to have magic. From the treasure hall, there is a small viewing platform overlooking the beauty of the Marmara Sea. The view is very good. You can take pictures with the blue sea behind and the buildings on the opposite bank. Looking at the Golden Horn Bay in the sea view restaurant, you pass through the third courtyard and enter the fourth courtyard. There is a sea view restaurant on the right hand side, where you can enjoy the view and eat, so the business is very good. To the left is the Tulip Garden, where tulips bloom in April and May. At the end is the Baghdad Pavilion, which was built to commemorate the capture of Baghdad in 1638. The interior is decorated with Iznik tiles, which is very ornate. On the edge of the platform there is a small pavilion Yvtaye with a golden roof, from which you can overlook the Golden Horn and the new urban area opposite. The fourth courtyard is relatively empty, and there are benches between the flowers and plants. In a leisurely afternoon, you can even see tourists reading here, and the wind is caressing, which is very comfortable.
