Topkapı Sarayı
Topkapı Sarayı, İstanbul’da bulunur ve Osmanlı İmparatorluğu döneminde padişahların kaldığı esas yerdir. Günümüzde hem önemli tarihsel özelliklerinden dolayı, hem de Hz. Muhammed’in kullandığına inanılan kılıcı ve hırkası gibi önemli Müslüman tarihi eserleri barındırdığı için başlıca turizm noktalarından biridir. 1985 yılında UNESCO, Topkapı Sarayı’nı Dünya Mirasları listesine almıştır. Pek çok mimar bu sarayın, Osmanlılar döneminin en önemli örneklerinden biri olduğunu belirtmektedir.
Saray, Marmara Denizi ve Boğaziçi’ne doğru uzanan tepelik bir burun olan Sarayburnu’nda yer almaktadır. Sahil kesimindeki en yüksek yapılardan biridir. Saray, aynı zamanda Bizantiyon akropolü de dahil olmak üzere bazı yapıların kalıntıları üzerinde yer alır ve arkeologların kazı çalışması sonucu Topkapı Sarayı’nın avlularından birinde Saray Bazilikası bulunmuştur.
O günkü adıyla Konstantinapol’ü fetheden Fatih Sultan Mehmet’in emriyle yapımına 1459 yılında başlanmıştır. Sarayın içinde birkaç küçük yapı ve dört geniş avlu yer almaktadır. En parlak döneminde yaklaşık dört bin kişi burada yaşamıştır. 1600'lü yıllar itibariyle saray zayıflamaya başlamıştır, çünkü padişahlar, Boğaz’da yapılan yeni yerlerde daha fazla vakit geçirmeye başlamışlardır. Osmanlı İmparatorluğu 1921 tarihinde yıkıldığında saray resmi olarak bir müzeye dönüştürülmüştür.

Topkapi Palace
Topkapi Palace is in Istanbul, and it was the main residence of the sultans during the reign of the Ottoman Empire.
Today, it is a major tourist destination, both because of its important historic significance and also because it holds some important Islamic relics, like the sword and cloak traditionally believed to have been used by Prophet Muhammed.
In 1985, UNESCO listed Topkapi Palace as a World Heritage Site.
Many architects consider the palace as one of the most important masterpieces of the Ottoman Empire.
The palace sits on Seraglio Point, which is a promontory looking out on the Sea of Marmara and the Golden Horn.
It’s one of the highest buildings that’s located near the sea.
The palace also rises on the ruins of some other structures, including the acropolis of the prior city of Byzantion and what is now known as the Palace Basilica, which archeologists discovered when they excavated one of the courtyards inside Tokapi Palace.
Work on building the palace started in 1459 on order of Sultan Mehmed II, who had conquered Constantinople.
There are several small buildings inside the palace and four large courtyards.
During its heyday, about four thousand people lived there.
By the 1600s, the palace began to decline because the Sultans spent more time in the newer palaces that had been built on the Bosporus.
When the Ottoman Empire ended in 1921, the palace officially became a museum.
