Topkapi Palace

The Topkap Palace is not just a big museum in Istanbul's Fatih neighborhood, but also one of the most beautiful historical sites in Turkey. It was the Ottoman sultans' principal home and administrative center in the 15th and 16th centuries.

Topkap Saray (Topkap Palace) and Harem (Topkap Saray) are likely to have more colorful stories than the majority of the world's museums combined. Between the 15th and 19th centuries, when it was the Ottoman empire's court, libidinous sultans, ambitious courtiers, attractive concubines, and crafty eunuchs lived and worked here. The magnificent pavilions, jewel-filled Treasury, and huge Harem of the palace provide a fascinating view into their lives.

This location attracts to everyone: pilgrims, historians, architecture buffs, romantic couples, and even casual tourists. A visit to this location is made unforgettable by the fascinating structures and expansive grounds. This location will take at least a half-day to explore.
