Palace

The Topkapi Palace is on the verge of collapse due to ongoing archaeological excavations and studies that are bringing Roman and Byzantine finds to light, according to Turkish media. The Turkish media report that slits started appearing in the walls of the Ottoman Palace, which was the Royal residence for the sultans in Constantinople for 400 years.

Istanbul's Topkapı Palace is facing risk of collapse, as it has been determined that the ground on which it is situated is sliding toward the Sarayburnu district on the coast of the Marmara Sea. The authorities have also determined that there has been dangerous "ground liquidation" under the palace.

Major renovation efforts worth around 10 million Turkish Liras at Istanbul's historic Topkapı Palace have started, after deep crevices were found in the treasury room of the Ottoman-era palace in July.

The discovery of the crevices prompted the partial closure of the Ottoman-era palace to tourists. 

Authorities at Topkapı Palace in Istanbul are probing a hole three meters in diameter that appeared two weeks ago in the yard of the famous tourist attraction, soon after deep cracks were discovered in the basement of the building's treasury pavilion.

Y?ld?z Palace, a historic Ottoman palace in Istanbul's central Be?ikta? district, has been allocated for use by Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdo?an, a Turkish columnist wrote on Nov. 8, sparking a debate over the use by statesmen of the area which included large green parks. 

When I saw the gaudy chairs German Chancellor Angela Merkel was seated in during her visit to Turkey, I took a look at the photos of Sultan Abdülaziz and Sultan Abdul Hamid; no, they did not have such gaudy armchairs. 

It is not tasteful splendor, it is only gaudiness. The correct word for these armchairs and for the presidential palace in Ankara is "gaudy."

A ?wise persons? committee of elders? will be established at Recep Tayyip Erdo?an?s presidential palace in Ankara, composed of figures aged over 75 years who had in the past held senior posts at public institutions.
