PALACE GARDENS IN ISTANBUL; THE EXAMPLE OF TOPKAPI

Historical gardens as an important type of green areas are important for today's societies in terms of their natural characteristics as well as their historical, cultural and aesthetic values. These historic gardens, which provide an environment for period buildings, are an important part of our cultural heritage, as well as evidence of the past and historical-social change. Palaces and their gardens, which were often built centuries ago, have significant environmental and cultural importance for today's cities and the societies that inhabit them. Istanbul, together with its other natural and cultural features, is also intimately associated with its historical environment of palaces. Istanbul, which is the most populated city in Turkey, possesses a number of palaces, namely Topkapı, Dolmabahce, Cırağan, Yıldız, and Beylerbeyi. The oldest one among them is Topkapı Palace, located on the peninsula where the Bosporus, Golden Horn and Marmara Sea interconnect. Topkapı Palace was the seat of government of the Ottoman Empire and the residence of the sultans for centuries
