Bukoleon Palace, built as a Byzantine coastal Palace on the historical peninsula of Istanbul, was built by Emperor II. It was built by Theodosios (408-450). The known and still visible parts were most likely added in the time of Teofilos (829-842). Faros, called the sign of the Fener, consists of the Imperial pier and the Palace section.The western part of the palace was destroyed by railway construction in the 1870s.
