Topkapı Palace
The sultans’ palace on Sarayburnu: courtyards, the Imperial Council, the treasury and the terraces over the water. Dated entry, sold online on its own site.

The provincial museum of Osmaniye, set on a large plot beside the Cebelibereket Cultural Centre. Its display is still being prepared and it is not yet open to visitors.
Osmaniye Museum stands in the Fakıuşağı district, next to the Cebelibereket Cultural Centre, on a plot of about 6,600 square metres allocated to the Ministry of Culture and Tourism. The directorate has worked in the province and its districts since 2013, recording and registering sites, documenting finds, carrying out rescue excavations and handling related administrative work.
At the time of writing the exhibition and arrangement work has not been completed, so the museum has not been opened to visitors. The story of the province, from Karatepe-Aslantaş to the Cilician city of Kastabala, is currently told at its sites rather than in this building.

According to the Ministry’s listing it opens at 10:00 and closes at 16:00 (last entry 15:30).
