Beautiful remain of a Byzantine Palace. Sadly the exhibition inside is only focus on the role of the place as a tile factory so not very interesting exhibition. Free entry

A fine example of old Byzantine architecture, but I do wish we are able to see all of the Balconies and corridors, maybe it will be available in the future :)
Elaborately decorated brickwork with glazed ceramic rosettes and tilework at the Byzantine Palace of the Porphyrogenitus (Tekfur Palace in modern Istanbul) is similar to some churches of Mesembria (Archangels, St. Paraskeva, Pantokrator in modern Nessebar, Bulgaria)
Wow! What a great (free) museum focusing on the Ottoman tile factory built in the remains of a Byzantine palace. If you are visiting Chora it’s right around the corner. The interactive exhibits are impressive.
I visited the palace this August. What is left of this great palace is left to rot . There is a parking for buses next to it. You cannot enter the palace because there is a sign that says that they try to repair it. Locals told that this sign exists there more than five years with no progress on the repair part. This palace was once the home of great kings of the Byzantine empire. Fener was also one of the richest and most beautiful neighborhoods of the Byzantium. Now they seem totally abandonded, the palace's walls are now used by locals to store stuff or even garbage. Specific times a week there is a chicken and turkey bazaar ( selling alive chicken etc ). As for the palace, the entrance is forbidden which means there is no chance you can see the inside of it even if you ignore the signs. For the lovers of the Byzantine empire i would rather suggest not to visit it unless you want to take a few pictures of it, you might get really offended by the way this place is being treated.
I liked it very much. It gave me a nice contrast between old and new.
It is nice place if you want to see the history of Istanbul . They have original pieces of Ceramic and earthenware utensils and 4d simple of istanbul old wall Fence
