Of Topkapi Palace

Sedikit history pasal Istana Topkapi boleh la dibaca di http://www.topkapisarayi.gov.tr/


Receptionist area
Back in old days, this was used to be a reception area for visitors before meeting the sultan.
Main entrance of Topkapi Palace
Pintu gerbang yang sangat gah dipandang. Memang the entrance gate pon buat orang rasa there must be something special inside. If not, buat pe ada tembok sebegini tinggi, kan? If to be compared with local architectural design, hanya bangunan yang ada barang important to preserve kat dalam je ada pagar yang canggih or maybe tinggi macam ni. Nampak wow kan? 


Entrance ticket 20TL, including refreshment tissue. Berbaloi atau tidak? Bergantung kepada how you appreciate the history inside. There are a lot to be read. It is advisable for you to dig in advance some histories back in Othmaniyyah era, so that you can relate your knowledge with the displayed items.


Ini adalah kami bertiga yang agak kemaruk dengan pokok-pokok yang tumbuh di sekitar kawasan istana. Okay, to be exact, it was only me yang extra excited dengan pokok-pokok tuh. Yang lain, normal je. Haha.
Those trees, semua besar-besar belaka. Ada yang boleh masuk dalam trunk lagi, macam yang dalam gambar ni. I think these trees dah berusia beratus tahun kot, sebab from history pon ada cakap this istana was initially constructed between 1460 to 1478. So tolak tambah bahagi waktu pembinaan landskap selepas the main building, still long time ago kan? So, logik lah pokok-pokok tu terlebih zat dan BESARRR...



Meeting hall
ni tempat dorang melakukan persidangan. boleh kata macam multi purpose hall la jugak. one of the sultan's daughters pernah dikahwinkan di sini. hall ni nampak kecil, maybe only vvip je kot yg ada tym wedding tu.

Some parts of the palace used for exhibition of royal jewelleries

In front of The Prophets section
Ada pedang2 nabi dan sahabat, janggut, gigi, tangan, tapak kaki, serban, cap mohor nabi2. ada juga display kunci pintu, tirai, selak kaabah, tanah madinah dan mekah. baju fatimah az-zahra dan baju ali abi talib pon ada. inside the hall, there is quran recitation. so when you see by yourself all those display items, the feeling is just indescribable.
