Istanbul Topkapi Mus dec 2016 0856.jpg

The Chamber of petitions. Conceived in the 16th century, present appearance 18th century. In this chamber the Sultan would have visiting ambassadors kiss the hem of his dress, though they would address the Grand Vezir in his stead.

Fountain to the right of the entrance to the Chamber of petitions. Made by order of Sultan Süleyman the Magnificent. I loved the fine tap.
