GIGANTICKÁ Fotografie + English: Turkey-03425 - Gate of Salutation (Taken on June 16, 2013, Sony NEX-7)
* The Gate of Salutation is the entrance to the second courtyard.
* This gate has two large octagonal pointed towers. The date of construction of this gate is not clear, since the architecture of the towers is of Byzantine influence rather than Ottoman. It is speculated that the gate emulates the Gate of St. Barbara (Cannon Gate), which used to be the royal seaside entrance to the palace gardens from the shore of the Bosphorus. An inscription at the door dates this gate to at least 1542.
