Topkapı Palace was the seat of the Ottoman Empire for more than 380 years, and 24 of its 36 sultans lived there and ruled their lands. The palace was transformed into a museum in 1924 and is now one of Turkey’s richest museums, with permanent and temporary exhibition halls. Its buildings and courtyards include a treasury, apartments, bathhouses, harems, an armoury, a holy relics section, imperial halls, kitchens, and royal chambers, making a visit within Topkapi’s inner walls one of the world’s great wonders. Treasures include 13th-century Japanese porcelain, weaponry used by the Ottoman army, the 86-carat diamond—the fourth-largest of its kind—the world-famous Topkapi Dagger, and many more.
