If there were ever a home with juicy untold secrets, it is the 15th Century BC Topkapi palace museum in the Fatih district of Istanbul city. Here, the Ottoman sultans courted concubine slaves, harem fights for power took place, castrated eunuchs served their master, and sibling rivalry over the throne cut some family members’ lives short. Topkapi’s importance existed for nearly four hundred years until the Ottoman dynasty left for Dolmabahce Palace. Regardless, the Topkapi palace museum in Istanbul reflects much more than bricks and mortar and ornate rooms. The famous Istanbul landmark portrays generations of the Ottoman royal family whose influence changed world history and millions of lives.
