WOW..WHAT A PALACE.....GOOD COMMENTARY

[@truthsayer4460]

Love for luxury and magnificence was the cause of their fall.

[@aliaguerin1266]

No expansion was they wanted to much. And also economics.

[@estherniqab8324]

Beautiful palace. I couldn't help but wonder if some of the scenes from Magnificent Century were filmed on location there. Still amazing what they don't teach in schools, or never used to.

[@harrietharlow9929]

I was blessed to visit Istanbul as a child and remember bits and pieces of the palace. Its in credible, as are the Hagia Sophia and the Blue Mosque. It really is a beautiful city. Yes, it is sad about schools. So much they don't teach.

[@aliaguerin1266]

I had some education about the Ottoman Empire in the Netherlands but it was superficial, and forgot al about it, then i saw this great series and i remembered a lot:) but now i am reading books about the Ottomans never to old to learn history.

[@valevale72]

No they created the whole palace: made an amazing job,indeed!

[@deltastones6702]

Harem was a golden prison, so sad how women were kept as slaves...

[@aliaguerin1266]

Yes, but some had it better inside then outside some even volontared to enter for education and a future..

[@munazahadnan9838]

Such a thorough insight....👏👏👏 Relating to the series magnificent century, is there a seperate palace nearby that was in use of tge grand Vizier Ibrahim paasha, or is it something fictional??

[@alitkhalife7028]

Its not fictional ,Ibrahim Pasha's palace is also a museum today

[@aliaguerin1266]

@@alitkhalife7028 Ali was the Magnificent century filmed on that location?

[@alitkhalife7028]

@@aliaguerin1266 some of the shots in the gardens were filmed in the actual Top kapi palace,the rest was a studio that almost looks like the real palace inside but not identical,as other sultans after Sulaiman kept building on to the palace and changed it over time.. the set is now a museum were you can go and visit

There is no way the Indian Mughal emperor Shahjahan's Peacock throne taken by Nadir Shah is currently in the Topkapi Palace. I refuse to believe it.

Merhaba！Çin Merkez Güzel Sanatlar Akademisi'nden sanat tarihi teorisi yüksek lisans öğrencisiyim, Topkapı Sarayı'nda mücevher işlemeli porselen araştırıyorum ama renkli resimlerim yok, porselen resimlerini almama yardım eder misiniz? Başka amaçlar için kullanmayacağıma söz veriyorum, sadece bir kağıt yazmak için.🥺🥺🥺

For Gods sake stop saying Ottoman empire, the name has never existed, NEVER used. It was Devlett-i Aliyye-i Osmaniyye in Mehmets time ,soon after him official name is and has always been Devletti Aliyye-i . Ottoman name has created by German historian to deny Turks has conquering the Roman empire in 1453 and Taking over as Sultanate of Rome! read, open archives of official correspondence to see what Turks and Empire called themselves.
