Explore its opulent chambers and marvel at priceless collections, including sacred Islamic relics of the Prophet Mohammed, imperial treasures, Chinese porcelain, weapons, and exquisite calligraphy. Admire the Harem, nestled within the palace grounds, which once housed the sultan, his mother, wives, concubines, children, and other female members of the court. A walk through this secluded section reveals a maze of rooms, courtyards, and private chambers, offering a unique glimpse into the complex social and political life of the Ottoman Empire.
- the Hagia Irene Church, a significant landmark from the Byzantine era and notably the first church constructed in Constantinople. This ancient structure holds immense historical and architectural importance, offering insights into the early Christian heritage of the city.
