Day 3 in Istanbul... It was a beautiful morning with plenty of sunshine and in fact pretty warm enough to remove my winter jacket...
Topkapi palace used to be the official residence for Ottoman sultans for almost 400 years though today is mainly just a prime tourist attraction.
The compound of Topkapi is huge, so huge that it is at par with the entrance fee and another surcharge if one wants to visit the Harem (I didn't)...
Approaching the Topkapi Palace is a Byzantine church of Hagia Eirene
The Tower of Justice

The view of Galata Tower from Topkapi
Remaining city wall
The view from the restaurant
Awesome patterned tile roof
Dom tile in Circumcision room
