The entrance to the Büyük Valide Han in Istanbul

... that the Büyük Valide Han (pictured), a 17th-century caravanserai in Istanbul, makes an appearance in the 2012 James Bond movie Skyfall? Source: Mentioned on at least a couple of pages here and here, and in a guidebook (Murphy, Leeann (2014). Moon - Istanbul & the Turkish Coast. Avalon Publishing.)
- ALT1:... that the Büyük Valide Han (pictured), a 17th-century caravanserai in Istanbul, was one of the locations used for a motorcycle chase scene in the 2012 James Bond movie Skyfall? Source: same as other hook: mentioned here and here, and in a guidebook (Murphy, Leeann (2014). Moon - Istanbul & the Turkish Coast. Avalon Publishing.)

Reviewed: Template:Did you know nominations/Guru Ram Rai Darbar Sahib (though I think I might be exempted from QPQ anyways?)
Comment: This is my first time nominating an article for DYK. I've included two hooks, the second of which is just a little longer and more specific. Also happy to forego or revise the picture. For your curiosity, you can see the shots of the building in the actual scene here; it's brief, but you see them riding through the entrance at 0:30 (with the building's name even visible), then shortly after they ride up a staircase and into a vaulted/arched corridor inside the han.

Quite a lot of sources are offline or in Turkish, so I will AGF. No major detected CopyVio. Article is well-sourced and hook is in article, cited too. I would go for the original alt. Image has appropriate license with no FoP issues. Good to go (and yeah, you're still exempt so you should be able to use the QPQ sometime in the future instead).
