one of the most interesting that I saw in Istanbul
October 4, 2024
A very interesting museum about the production of ceramics, an excellent observation deck, cheap entrance (only 50 lira for October 2024). Of the disadvantages, only a long and difficult climb, but it's worth it.

One of the most affordable examples of Byzantine architecture in Istanbul for Russian citizens. Of the minuses - transport accessibility, of the pluses - a panorama of the municipality of Fatih and the opposite shore of the Golden Horn Bay

I was pleased with the entrance fee, the only place where it is normal, it is worth visiting, but there is not much to see, everything was destroyed by the Turks, a good observation deck on the roof of the palace, overlooking the city walls and the Golden Horn

Great views. Very few people. Cheap (50lir). There is not much left of Byzantium. Along the way, you can feel the warmth of modern Istanbul.

I liked it only because I adore everything related to Byzantium. It is difficult to call this ruin a palace , absolutely nothing has been preserved . The view from the wall is interesting and impressive. even if you consider that these walls used to be 4 meters higher than they are now

The Constantinople Palace on minimalki. At least something has been preserved. Anyone interested in the history of Byzantium will be interested.

This is a relatively new museum in Istanbul, built on the ancient wall of Constantinople. Very few tourists come here, because it is far from the center. A high observation deck will allow you to take wonderful photos. January 2023 - cost 50 liras

The remains of the Byzantine Blachernae Palace, the only three-storey building that remains of Constantinople. During the time of the Ottomans, there was a tile workshop here, and this is what the exposition is dedicated to. You can climb to the observation deck and look at the walls of the city from above.

The restored palace of the Byzantine emperors who lived here for the last century on the eve of the fall of Byzantium. Subsequently, a ceramic factory worked within the walls of this palace, the tiles of which can be seen in many palaces, including in Bakhchisarai. The palace is located on a hill. The most impressive panorama opens from its height. The ticket price in July 2023 is 40 liras. For comparison, the Galata Tower is 350 lire.
There are practically no visitors. And it's a shame. The place is unique. The palace is part of the fortress wall. Within walking distance of the Byzantine temple in Chora, which is now closed for renovation (being converted into a mosque)

I went to climb the ruins, but I found a museum. Delicately restored, preserved ruins.
The entrance to the museum is inexpensive (40lir in June 2023), surprisingly. Probably, tk is away from tourist places.
Feature: there is a booth at the entrance, and then come in and walk by yourself without any caretaker.
There is a small exposition inside, a mock-up of the outer wall. Large-scale views open from the fortress wall and balconies on the upper floors.

I don't understand why almost none of the tourists reach this palace! Here is a cool view of the center of Istanbul, samples of ancient frescoes, silence, tranquility. Also, well, a very cheap entrance

Excellent view from the top, from the wall and roof. There's not much left inside. I recommend visiting it.
It's not a very simple logistics, but in a compartment with the walls of Feodosiya (a walk a little further) and the Choir church, with frescoes it doesn't look bad.

It's a long way to go, there's practically nothing to see inside. Except that the remains of the walls and towers of the Byzantine fortress are outside.

An excellent example of the restoration of the only preserved, albeit only facade, Byzantine palace. An interesting exposition about the history of this place.

It is very informative about glass and pottery. Interesting exhibits.
The palace has been restored almost from ruins. There is a new look, but it does not reduce the color. Pretty good. I was in October - there were practically no people. But it takes time and patience, at least to find it)))..

After a recent renovation, a museum dedicated to ceramics produced in the already Ottoman Tekfur Sarai has been opened. There is almost no Byzantine history of one of the main palaces of Constantinople in this museum, and the exposition itself is poor and mostly interactive.
Also pay attention to the terrible plastic windows in the 13th century palace)

two large viewing platforms. one of them is a preserved ruin, and the other has been restored. I recommend going up by elevator initially.
