Catalog published on the occasion of the exhibition "Byzantine Palaces in Istanbul" which opened June 21, 2010 by the Istanbul Archaeological Museums with the support of the Vehbi Koç Foundation. The exhibition was designed to accompany the second International Sevgi Gonül Byzantine Studies Symposium on the theme "The Byzantine court : source of power and culture" held June 20-23, 2010; it presented the finds from salvage excavations. The Great Palace occupies a great place in the exhibition and its catalog. Furthermore, selected items from the palaces of Bukoleon, Antigonos, Blacherna, Myrelaion, Rhegion, Mangana, Botaneiates, and Hebdomon are presented. Although the items are not of great spectacle, they are of great historical importance regarding the decoration of the now lost buildings.
