| An intricate maze of domed pavilions forms the resplendent Topkapı Palace in İstanbul. Topkapı was constructed on the site of an ancient arsenal in 1462. Over the years, a succession of sultans added their own buildings to the complex. Today, Topkapı is perhaps best known for the priceless jewels housed in its treasury. | ||||||
