Istanbul - Topkapi Harem

Since the Palace blog is so long I have split out the Harem.


The architecture changes and becomes more of a place where people lived.







Washing facilities.







I don't know what this is but several rooms had one.






The whole concubine process was regulated with records kept of which girl was slept with and when.













This was dazzling.




















Beautiful intense blue. 














Incredible workmanship.




View of the Golden Horn.






For me, the Harem was the best part of the Palace.
