In which city is Topkapi palace located?
The Topkapı Palace is a large palace in Istanbul, Turkey, that was one of the major residences of the Ottoman sultans for almost 400 years (1465–1856) of their 624-year reign. As well as a royal residence, the palace was a setting for state occasions and royal entertainments. It is now a museum and as such a major tourist attraction. It also contains important holy relics of the Muslim world, including Muhammed's cloak and sword.

donc, I don't understand why it took you an hour. I did it in about 4 minutes, if that. Either your computer is really slow or you are taking a long time to think through your answers.

donc, If they are places you have never heard of......think of this as an opportunity to learn about them . I like to live by the saying , that a day is wasted if I have not learned something new !
