• Topkapi Palace
• Sultan Tombs
The Ottoman sultans and their court resided in Topkapi Palace until the middle of the 19th century. Sultan Mehmed II, the conqueror of Constantinople, built Topkapi Palace between 1460 and 1478 as a home for himself and his family. The palace was not only a residence for Ottoman rulers; it was also an administrative center with offices to handle both civil and military matters. In fact, the complex was more like a small city, with administrative offices and several courtyards.
