Overview

Topkapı Palace
The Topkapı Palace has been the Imperial residence of the Ottoman Sultans from the 15th to the 19th century. Its design, initially devised by Sultan Mehmed the Conqueror himself and then enhanced by Architect Sinan, hides marks of the rituals and structure of Ottoman hierarchy and the running of state affairs.
Home to the imperial treasury, cabinet and the site of the barracks for Janissaries, the elite of the army, every single corner of the palace mentions the splendor of the Ottomans. Apart from the priceless treasury, a distinguished collection of Chinese porcelains, holy relics, Sultan’s attires, and imperial weaponry are exhibited in different palace sections.

Tombs of Sultans
While visiting the tombs of Sultans, various essential figures who had a say in the administration of the Ottoman Empire, you both will be fascinated by Ottoman history and have the chance to experience poetry in motion with their delicately constructed and decorated architecture.
