Opening line is incorrect, and I have made changes to reflect this. Here is what I changed, and why:
Sarayburnu (Turkish: Sarayburnu, meaning Cape of the Seraglio), known in English as the Seraglio Point
Changed to:
Sarayburnu (Turkish: Sarayburnu, meaning Palace Nose; also known, Italianized, as Seraglio Point[1] )
Saray is Turkish for 'palace' and Burun, 'nose'. When paired in possession becoming 'Sarayburnu'. Just as one might refer to a 'finger of land' or 'finge lake', the Turks refer to this spur of land as a 'nose'. Likewise, the İstanbul Boğazı, the straight connecting the Black and Marmara Seas, means 'Neck of Istanbul', because of it's shape.
I included a dictionary reference to support the Italian origin of 'Seraglio'. Here is another:
