| Topkapi Palace |
| When Fatih Sultan Mehmet conquered the city in 1453
he chose to build his palace on the site of the old Byzantine
palace ruins that had been looted and destroyed by the
Latins. This palace was used as the Ottoman residence
for almost 400 years until the reign of Abdülmecid, and
was therefore subjected to many changes as it passed from
sultan to sultan. |
