As for the billboard, I guess the Turks must eat a lot of Kale. The Sublime Porte571 viewsThe building at left with the flag in front replaced the Topkapi Palace as the headquarters of the Grand Vizier and the government ministries in the 19th century. Its gate, the Bab-i Aii. translated into French as Sublime Porte, became a metaphor for the Ottoman government. Today it is the seat of the provincial governor. Waterborne Fountain568 viewsThis fountain marked the entrance to the Golden Horn from the Bosphorus. In the background is the Galata Bridge across the Golden Horn.
