Gülhane Park was once part of the imperial garden of Topkapı Palace. Located on the slopes below Topkapi Palace extending to the seashore, this park is popular among Istanbul residents for picknicking and its frequent open-air concerts. In the park is the Gothic Column, known to have been one of the main obelisks of the Byzantines, and an as yet undefined Byzantine ruin. (Location: Istanbul)
