Topkapı Sarayı

Located on a peninsula in İstanbul and offering sweeping views of the Golden Horn, the Sea of Marmara and the straits of the Bosphorus, the Topkapı Palace was once the exalted seat of the Ottoman sultans. The palace was built in the 15th century at the behest of Sultan Mehmet II after the conquest of Constantinople. From the 15th to the 19th century, the palace was the cornerstone of the Ottoman Empire. Its power was ceded to the newer Dolmabahçe Palace on the coast.
