Highlights

Built between 1460-1478 CE by Mehmet II, the Ottoman sultan who conquered Constantinople and renamed it Istanbul, the palace served as a sprawling home and administrative center.
The Topkapi Palace is one of the finest examples of both Ottoman and imperial architecture, with many different sections to explore.
From the extravagant Sultanahmet Mosques to the opulent harem, this UNESCO site recognizes both Ottoman culture and Turkish identity.
This imperial palace and its sprawling gardens occupy a prominent position on the Golden Horn and are one of Istanbul’s most popular tourist attractions.
The palace’s architectural style aims to bring together different styles and cultures in harmonious unity.
Many rooms are lavishly decorated with gilded ceilings, marble floors, and silk wall coverings; others are more austerely furnished.
There is a delightful fountain the Ahmet Cesmesi (Fountain of Ahmed III) at the great square in front of the Imperial Gate of Topkapi Palace.
