DETAILS OF TOPKAPI PALACE

During Ottoman Empire, Topkapi palace was not only where the Ottoman Sultans and their families stayed but also a centre of the management, education. Built in 1460-1478 this magnificent building still has one of the most valuable Ottoman heritage..

We wanted to show the most magnificent corners of this beautiful architecture!



This photo turned out so iconic, probably our favorite!


Harem which comes from the word `Haram´(Forbidden) where Sultan`s concubines were spending their days and this part of the palace was forbidden to any man.


Gosh, Tiles! How much we love them, can be the best thing that Ottoman Empire left for the world.


And ceiling works are another story, we can just look and amazed by them.. These colors are simply  gorgeous!


Fountains are so common in Istanbul. You can find fountains in every gate of Ottoman Palaces. All the visitors needed to clean themselves before entering the palaces..


Another amazing ceiling and window. It is a good idea to keep your eyes up when you are in Istanbul!
