| Topkapi Palace in İstanbul, Turkey, was the residence of the Ottoman sultans for hundreds of years. Today, it is a museum where the artistic treasures of the sultans are on view. Many of the rooms are lined with exquisite ceramic tiles like these from İznik, which was the center of Turkish pottery. | ||||||
