Flag of İstanbul Province - Image by Tomislav Šipek, 8 October 2017

The flag of İstanbul Province (photo) is white with the province's emblem. "T.C." stands for "Türkiye Cumhuriyeti", "Republic of Turkey"; "Valiliği" means "Governorate".
The emblem features the Governor's office, once the Grand Vizir's
Office known as the Sublime Porte (Bâb-ı Âli).
The site was inaugurated officially as Bâb-ı Âli in 1756 by Sultan Osman
III. Afterwards it became the residence of all Grand Viziers and the
actual government center of the Empire. After the fire in 1839 the
building was rebuilt and used only as a government office and not as the
residence of the Grand Vizier anymore.
The new Bâb-ı Âli building designed in 1844 by Stefan Kalfa was
different from its predecessors with its storey floorings and more
important by being built with stones and bricks. The original outline of
the architecture still remains. But the inner structure was kept only in
“Sadaret Dairesi” (Office of the Grand Vizier) which serves as the
Governor’s Office today. The original building was composed of three
anterooms surrounded by office rooms connected in the northwest
-southeast direction. The complex was 220 meters in length and the
middle part was higher than both ends. The lower end at northwest was
the Office of the Grand Vizier and the other end at southeast was the
Ministry of Foreign Affairs. The higher middle part between them was
reserved for the offices of “Şura-yı Devlet” (Supreme Court).
The new Bâb-ı Âli was a change of place and also a change in function
concurrently. Afterwards the Topkapı Palace lost its significance and
remained as an endorsement authority only. Therefore the gate opposite
of the “Alay Köşkü” lost its importance and the south gate facing Ankara Street near the Ministry of Foreign Affairs came into prominence.
Bâb-ı Âli became the definition of the government of the Ottoman Empire.
While the Ministry of Foreign Affairs gained importance the news-hungry
journalists began to settle down in the neighborhood and the Bâb-ı Âli
concept as the headquarters of Turkish Press was born.
