Topkapi Palace

Topkapi Palace, now a large museum in Istanbul, Turkey, is a venue for state receptions and a tourist attraction. It is home to Muslim relics such as the robe and sword of Muhammad, which have a history of almost 600 years. Sultan Mehmed II of the Ottoman Empire was able to conquer Constantinople, so he ordered the palace to be rebuilt and named the new palace the New Imperial Palace. Over time, it was renovated several times. Later, Dolmabahçe Palace, which is a new palace, continued to be used as the imperial treasury, library and mint and was renamed Topkapı, which means the cannon gate, and later was converted into a museum.
