Gulhane Park - Istanbul

Until the beginning of the 20th century, Gulhane Park was part of the external gardens of Topkapi Palace. After the establishment of presidential rule, the territory of the luxurious gardens became public use. The park covers 16 hectares. The central alley and the paths diverging from it are framed by flower arrangements, centuries-old plane trees, oaks, and elms. Under their wide crowns on the lawns, people relax, admiring the beauty of the Bosphorus Bay. The pride of the park is tens of thousands of rose bushes and entire meadows of tulips. At the main entrance there is a Literary Museum; in the west, in the building of former stables, there is the Museum of Islamic Science and Technology. Address: Alemdar Mah. Alemdar Cad.
