The Palace of Boukoleon or Bucoleon was one of the Byzantine palaces in Constantinople The palace is located on the shore of the Sea of Marmara, to the south of the Hippodrome and east of the Little Hagia Sophia.
Hormisdas is an earlier name of the place. The name Bucoleon was probably attributed after the end of the 6th century under Justinian I, when the small harbour in front of the palace, which is now filled, was constructed. According to tradition, a statue featuring a bull and a lion stood there, giving the port its name . The palace is accordingly also called the "House of Hormisdas" and "House of Justinian".
