Topkapi Palace is a magnificent historical complex located in Istanbul, Turkey. It was built in the 15th century, and the palace served as the residence of Ottoman sultans and their families for over 400 years.
The palace has various courtyards, chambers, and pavilions. It was fascinating to look at all the different areas, each adorned with opulent decorations and intricate designs.
The Imperial Treasury houses priceless artifacts and jewels.
The Harem is where the sultan’s concubines and wives lived.
Another building that is a place to receive dignitaries.
The Mecidiye Pavilion was the most recent building addition in 1858. This would be a resting for Sultans after their throne ascension ceremonies.
A few relics in the relic display hall.
I also toured a building with centuries of clothing.
