What travelers say:
Just in front of the Topkapa Palace, if I didn't go to the information, I thought it was a house where the palace guards rested, but even if I knew it was a fountain, I still couldn't see any fountain, maybe it was hidden inside?

The fountain in the downtown area of Istanbul is very beautiful. Many leisure locals in the square are reading and chatting. On the contrary, there are not many tourists. It's worth visiting.
It's worth going! Whether you live in an old city or a new one, it's quite convenient to come here. Behind St. Sophia's Cathedral is its Palace gate.
This beautiful piece of architecture is located right outside the gates to Topkapi Palace and is a good place for a photo.
