Overview
-
An important part of the Topkap Palace, which spans an area of 700 thousand square meters, is reserved for The Royal Gardens (Hasbahçe). It has three main gates “The Imperial Gate” (Bab-i Hümayun), “The Middle Gate” (Babüsselam) and “The Gate of Fecility” (Babüssaade); four courtyards, The Imperial Harem and The Royal Gardens (Hasbahçe/Gulhane). The palace was consciously built in a modest way and even the Great Architect Sinan built only one section. The plan consists of sections reserved for state affairs between courtyards and gardens, the dwellings and kiosks of the Sultans, and buildings for officials living in the palace.
Since 1924, treasury, sacred relics, clocks, portraits of the Sultans, Sultan's dresses, weapons have been exhibited in the palace, which has hosted visitors as a fascinating museum.
Supply Room, III. Ahmed Library, kiosks (Baghdad, Revan, Mustafa Pasha Pavilion) and kitchens sections are open to visitors. The Imperial Harem requires a separate admission.
