Topkapi Palace, Istanbul
The administrative palace of the Ottoman Dynasty, that ruled on
3 continents for 6 centuries is a must see! Construction began in 1470,
with each reigning Sultan building additional sections. Its fantastic
musuem is the main focus of my pages here, and you will see a very
many sculpture hailing from the Roman and Byzantine periods.
