The entrance gate at Topkapı Palace. It has two pointed turrets at either side and a Turkish flag in the middle. Underground pillars in a Cistern. They are literally to perfectly reflect in the water. Galata Tower - a round brick tower, with a pointy spire. The sign for the Istanbul Cat Museum. It is a black square with a gold M. The inside of the M is shaped like a cats head.
