TOPKAPI PALACE
Topkapı (Topkapı Sarayı) is the subject of more colourful stories than most of the world's museums put
together. Libidinous sultans, ambitious courtiers, beautiful concubines and scheming eunuchs lived and
worked here between the 15th and 19th centuries when it was the court of the Ottoman empire. Visit-
ing the palace's opulent pavilions, jewel-filled Imperial Treasury and sprawling Harem gives a fascinat-
ing glimpse into their lives.
