Istanbul was once considered by me to be the capital of Turkey, but it was not because it was really too busy and famous. The Toplab Palace is a very worthwhile sight! The largest gate of the Toprapa Palace is the Gate of the Emperor, which faces the Hagia Sophia Square. This door first leads to a park known as the "first court." In this park there is an Alini church that was once used as a ammunition depot, and there is a mint behind the church. In the past, the first court was built in a variety of pavilions, serving different court needs. In the years that followed, they were gradually replaced by public buildings and schools, but some of them still stand today. Chongjing Gate, also known as the Zhongmen, is the entrance to the second courtyard. The gate with the cannon has two octagonal spires and the construction period is unknown. The architecture of the Respected Gate is similar to that of the Byzantine architecture. It is estimated that the Respected Gate is built to mimic the Santa Barbara Gate (the cannon's gate). The cannon gate is the royal entrance to the Royal Palace from the Bosphorus Sea.
