Four-courtyard palace the Ottoman sultans ran their empire from for 400 years.
Editor's Note
Topkapı Palace, on the Sarayburnu promontory in Istanbul, served for roughly 400 years as the administrative center of the Ottoman Empire and the residence of its sultans. Built by Sultan Mehmed II in 1478, it kept this role for about 380 years until the construction of Dolmabahçe Palace. Once home to nearly 4,000 people, the palace covered about 700,000 m² at its founding and occupies around 80,000 m² today.
