• Topkapi Palace - In the year 1453, the young Mehmet II, who would later be known as the Conqueror, led his forces to seize Constantinople from the Byzantine Empire, transforming it into the new Ottoman Capital. This pivotal moment marked the rise of an empire, emerging from the roots of a modest tribal state.

Following a meticulous six-year building process by a select group of skilled stonemasons, the Saray-i Cedid-i Amire (the New Palace) was finalized in 1465, serving the House of Osman and its officials.

The palace’s design is rich with symbolic significance, reflecting the hierarchical social structure through its architecture. Today, the palace continues to be a premier destination for visitors.
