Museum Tiled Kiosk in Fatih

You're standing at the Tiled Kiosk, or Çinili Köşk in Turkish. This is the outer edge of Topkapı Palace, right next to Gülhane Park. Sultan Mehmed II built this pavilion as a pleasure palace, a place to get away from the bustle of court. Have a look at the tiles above the main entrance. There's an inscription there with the year 1472. People also called it the Glazed Kiosk, and once you notice those shiny glazed bricks, you can see why.
