The palace of Bonos was founded by Romanes I Lekapenos as his summer residence. This palace is now lost to us and the information on it were delivered only through literary sources. This study re-examines the literary sources and tries to find out the characteristic features of the palace. In this palace, the courtyard or 'Aule' was used as the ceremonial space, and the palace church (St. Constantine) was facing the 'Aule'. Therefore the courtyard or 'Aule' might be the functional core of this palace. And the situation of the palace, on the north slope of 'the fourth Hill' in Constantinople, is ideal for a summer residence.
