The palace of Boukoleon
#2
The pace is first mentioned in 800 AD. It was initially a port with imperial amenities.
Later it was joined to the Grand Palace. The name comes from an archaic statue complex of a lion vs bull fight that initially dominated the dock.

At Palaiologoi times it was made a prison. The Turks later built a housing complex in its place.
