Imperial Hall, Harem, Topkapi

A full day exploring in rainy Istanbul.  There is so much to see, and a lot of buildings are being newly renovated for future openings( so always something new to see on different visits). We visited some newly renovated and opened  Sultan Tombs behind Haghia Sophia for example.The highlight for me today was the Harem in Topkapi Palace- so beautiful, and I kept imagining all the women and children walking through the rooms and corridors. The Imperial Hall took my breath away!
