Sulejman Veličanstveni Epizode: Istanbul's Topkapi Palace was the royal residence of the sultans for approximately 400 years from the 15th century. The Harem is a major attraction. There the queen mother, concubines, eunuch guards... lived. The large complex housed 4000 people and was replaced by the opulent Dolmabahce Palace on the Bosphorus in the 19th century. The Gate of Salutation provides entrance to the Second Courtyard (of 4). The Palace is a UNESCO WHS. #topkapipalace #harem #sultan #concubines #bosphorus #snapso #istanbul #turkey #eunuchs #_iso #caliph #byzantine #architecture #seeingtheworld #travelers #sharingtravelpics #seeingtheearth #4courtyards #unesco-whs #gateofsalutation #suleiman by patttikake
