Byzantine emperor's private harbour — now a haunting marble ruin between railway tracks and the sea

A haunting ruin of the Great Palace of Constantinople — a crumbling marble facade with empty window arches overlooking the Sea of Marmara along Kennedy Caddesi. Once the private harbour of the Byzantine emperors, now a few dramatic walls surviving between the railway tracks and the sea. The kind of ruin where you feel history's weight.
