Topkapi Palace

We took the morning to tour Topkapi Palace and I'm sure glad we were able to take extra time to see all that there is to see.

We paid admission into the palace and paid extra to see the harem. Sure glad we did. We also rented an audio set which was very useful even if the numbers were a little mixed up.

Construction everywhere. Guess it takes a lot of work to keep up a palace that was built by the Ottoman sultans in 1465.


The sultan's horse would ride down this path



Many, many beautiful ceilings


This is the most ornate gutter I have ever seen.


In the circumcision room. Not sure what the purpose is.



Pearl inlays in closet door


Ceiling of the kitchen
