Topkapi Palace


Ryan took Dan and I to the Topkapi Palace Museum and it was awesome. So much history in this city located on the line between Europe and Asia. It looks out toward the Black Sea and across the extended city of Istanbul. Topkapi was the Ottoman Sultan's second palace in Istanbul built in 1478, with a population of about 4,000 people, it covers 173 acres. It served 25 sultans for nearly 400 years. Here you see Dan and Ryan walking on the very pathway the Sultans walked, and Dan is sitting the the "stone throne" that the Sultan used when watching sports games.
