Topkapı Palace
It is one of the most striking landmarks you can find in the city. It is a grandiose palace and is built to fit perfectly to the golden ratio. The palace is covered with lush gardens with four separate court- yards. The first courtyard right by the entrance is open to the public only on special days and has its own church, the Hagia Eirene, facing the imposing Hagia Sophia. This is where the palace officials hear the pleas of the common folk. The second courtyard, the outer part of the palace, houses the Divan-ı Hümayun where the notable members of the government have their meetings
