    Turkey has a lot of historcal places but one of them is very important and very famous.Its name is Topkapı Palace.Fatih Sultan Mehmet had it built in 1478.Its construction lasts 12 years.It had been the center of state for 380 years until Abdulmecit had Dolmabahçe Palace built.It was 700.000 square meter and approximetely 4000 people used to live there.The people who lived in Topkapı Palace abondened there when Dolmabahçe and Yıldız Palaces were built but it has never lost its popularity.Sultan and his family used to visit it and they had never neglect it.

    Topkapı Palace was first opened in public in the era of Abdülmecit.Topkapı Palace was shown The English Ambrassador and showing it has been tardition from that time.Mustafa Kemal Atatürk donated it İstanbul Âsâr-ı Atika Muze in order to open it to the public.After some restoration it was opened to the public in 1924.In 1985 it was  reported as world inheritance by Unesco.It is used as muze today.It is opened  to visitor except for Thursday.Also it is used for some TV programs.
