Description

Tophane Barracks is a barracks that was built during the reign of Sultan Mehmet the Conqueror to cast cannons but was demolished in 1957 for road widening purposes. Only the Clock Tower and the Tophane Pavilion right behind it have survived to the present day from this military barracks.
