Musée du palais de Topkapi / Topkapı Sarayı Plus qu'une simple résidence impériale des sultans ottomans, il fut le siège du Conseil suprême exécutif et judiciaire pendant près de 400 ans. Le palais de Topkapi est un monument architectural oriental majestueux qui témoigne de la puissance de l'Empire ottoman.

Visit the harem, ruled by the Queen Mother who wielded domestic and political power. The harem housed hundreds of women and family members as well as hundreds of eunuchs, who performed a wide range of duties. Take a moment to spot the cupboard doors inlaid with mother-of-pearl and tortoiseshell. Walk through the Harem is also the only way to see the very early, exceptionally-crafted Iznik tiles decorated with floral designs and verses from the Quran.
