On the European side of the Bosphorus lies the historical core of Istanbul. The Topkapi Palace, residence of Ottoman sultans for 400 years, sits atop a peninsular ridge that provides an open view of the Golden Horn, the Bosphorus, and the Sea of Marmara. The Justice Tower, the palace's most visible feature, enabled the sultan to keep watch over his city. [2014]
