Gülhane Park, Public park near Topkapi Palace, Istanbul, Turkey
The expansive grounds contain numerous trees, flower gardens, and paved pathways spread across 163 hectares adjacent to the Topkapi Palace complex.
The park grounds served as the outer gardens of Topkapi Palace until 1912 when they were transformed into a public recreational space for Istanbul residents.
The Gothic Column, Procession Pavilion, and Science Museum preserve centuries of Ottoman and Byzantine heritage within the park boundaries.
The park opens daily from sunrise to sunset with multiple entrances near tram stations and offers benches, cafes, and clean facilities throughout.
In 1928, Mustafa Kemal Atatürk introduced the Latin alphabet to Turkish citizens for the first time during a presentation in this park.
