Flanked by two fountains, this is the famous gate (bab) that inspired the Westerners and whose name is sometimes used to designate the Ottoman Empire. It is said to represent the real entrance to the palace of Topkapı. Built by Mehmed the Conqueror in 1478, it housed the residence of the Grand Vizier. The Sultan could monitor the comings and goings from the Parade kiosk (Alay Köşkü), a balcony located just across the street in the wall of Topkapı. After the proclamation of the Republic, the governor's residence is established here.
