Istanbul Archaeological Museums
One of the world's great archaeological complexes — three museums near Topkapi Palace with the Alexander Sarcophagus, ancient Mesopotamian tablets, and over a million artefacts from the Ottoman Empire.
Istanbul
Topkapi Palace Museum
Topkapi Palace was the administrative heart of the Ottoman Empire for nearly 400 years, home to the sultans and their court from the reign of Mehmed II (who built it after conquering Constantinople in 1453) until the 1850s. The palace complex covers 70 hectares on a promontory overlooking the confluence of the Bosphorus and the Golden Horn.
