Topkapı Palace (yep, there's no dot over the i, and it's pronounced "topkapa") was occupied by Ottoman sultans between 1465 and 1830, with 300+ rooms over four successive courtyards, as you can see in the model below.
Lots of courtyards mean lots of gateways. Babusselam Gate in the sunshine, 1990:
Same gate, 2013 in the rain:
Even smaller doors are beautifully decorated:
