After I edited pictures I took in December 2007 I added them to this gallery, that so far had ‘only’ shown pictures of some separate parts of the collection. I will check what pictures I have until then put into other galleries and sort them with these. I added pictures I scanned from slides, the latter are much older, from the early 1990's. Their colours are a bit strong and not always correct, Kodachrome is a difficult film to handle. I will add captions shortly. An excellent site on the palace, with lots of text, is at: http://www.ee.bilkent.edu.tr/~history/topkapi.html Through the "topics" option on Pbase I try and show more museums, check the Link to the museums that I took pictures of.

TOPKAPI SARAYI

İstanbul Topkapı Müzesi’ne ait çok fazla resme sahibim. Yapının değişik bölümleri ve sahip olduğu kolleksiyonlar için farklı galeriler kullandım.
Birçok metni ve benim hiç almadýğım bazı resimleri içeren sarayla ilgili harika bir site: http://www.ee.bilkent.edu.tr/~history/topkapi.html

Türkçe çeviri: Melek Emir. Katkılarından dolayı teşekkür ederim.

I visited Turkey with my lovely friend Iclal and have fallen in love with Turkey and all things Turkish. It was a joy to come across this wesite - it has brought back some unbelievable memories for me. Thank you most sincerely. Excellent photography.

A turkish teacher		26-Apr-2010 21:29
Thank you for your beautiful photographs of Topkapý Palace. I specificly needed certain photos of the palace, the ones showing the old Ottoman inscriptions above the main three gates, to help my lectures on the Ottoman script. I searched for them at the official web site of the Palace Museum, but found none, instead very poor photos there! what a pity. Your photos really helped. Thank you for sharing them.

nancy grayless		07-Feb-2010 00:41
Thank you for the beatiful pictures of Topkapi. My son & I were there in July 09 & I was enthralled by the Holy Relics ..wish I could have taken pictures of them. My son was somewhat skeptical of some things being authentic (he's 19) but it's my belief & Faith that I did actually see the staff of Moses & the arm of John the Baptist! Istanbul is amazing & I'll definitlly go back sometime. The people were so gracious. My other favorite place was Hagia Sophia so glorious & difficult to describe. How did they do that ?

Nabila		13-Jan-2010 07:24
Spectacular pictures of a spectacular place. Thanks for sharing. Just for info ive just been to Topkapi you are allowed to photograph most things except for the relics and jewels.

Dick Osseman		08-Dec-2009 18:25
I took some pictures when picture taking was allowed but indeed now it is not. The set up has been rearranged also. Still many people take them anyhow using their mobile phones. My camera is too conspicious. And having smelled the footprint of Muhamed - still smelling after all those years, of perfume i would say - they keep in Mardin i have had enough relics to last me a lifetime (did i mention i also saw pieces of the cross that held Jesus, and of course the manger that he slept in, and all that?)

gitachantique		05-Dec-2009 12:57
hi.. i'm from indonesia. istanbul is sooo beautiful.. i just back from istanbul a few months ago.. regarding photo of relics that had been asked... mmmh... as far as i remembered, it is all put in room that had sign no picture(no camera), no video recording etc... and about the hair of prophet muhammad it's also guarded, so just to see it, is very hard because of the crowd.. there is a lot of people wants to see it...

manuel ribeiro		20-Jul-2009 15:09
manuel ribeiro i'm portuguese and visited istanbul last week and topkapi palace .but yours photos are fantastic and thank you by the possibility that sharing them with us

Leah		21-Jun-2009 22:52
Your photos are breathtaking! The textiles, porcelain, tiles and other art are breathtaking! Thanks for helping me revisit these sites and sights. Captions would be helpful if you ever get around to it. My 2 days in Istanbul in 2007 were memorable but nowhere near enough, and if i don't get back then i'll visit it in my dreams.

Dick Osseman		21-Mar-2009 19:59
Regarding the pasting of whatever pictures: I do not paste, I take pictures. SInce I did not take pictures of the swords that are displayed I cannot show them.

JAHANGIR KHAN, PESHAWAR		21-Mar-2009 19:21
I have seen Topkapi Istanbul in 1994. You have added beautiful pictures. Would you please paste photos of the swords of Prophet Mohammad (peace be upon him ) and his four Caliphs (radhiullah) that have been displayed in Top Kapi. That would add to beauty of your website. I shall be personally thankful to you.

Veronica		06-Dec-2008 20:30
What a beautiful pictures! Really great! I´m spanish and I´ve been 5 times in Turkey, and I love it! Ijust want to come backas soon as possible! I like the pictures so much!Thanks.

Zainab		27-Aug-2008 00:12
These are lovely pictures but except for a few, most aren't captioned. So, one has to keep guessing which part of the palace the photo is showing or the historical connections of the various relics.

alberto mario		14-Feb-2008 08:53
I was for only a week in Istanbul some two tears ago with my wife . This Queen City remains in my heart as a dream and I wish renew my visit as soon as possible.

Jean-Luc Rollier		08-Feb-2008 11:49
Very interesting work ! Great collection! JL V

Feda		24-Sep-2007 02:22
Thank you for your effort and time in putting up your pictures. I throughly enjoyed viewing the pictures and reading the various comments. But I, as Feizel, would like to further encorage you to put up pictures of the 'holy relics' that you have. I would love to see those too.

Dick Osseman		21-Sep-2007 09:26
Hi feizel i do have a picture of a hair in a container somewhere in my slide collection and i seem to recall some swords. but i have a backlog with scanning slides and i just took fresh pictures in Turkey - from where i write now - so it may be a while.

feizel		19-Sep-2007 16:02
i am from south africa and i have been informed that this museum has kept relics from the time of our prophet mohammed ( pbuh) eg garments, letters, even his hair sample. could you place some of these photos on this site.

esra		19-Jul-2007 02:02
helooooooo your site is veryyy niceeeeee! especially the pituresss of turkiye the mosttt beautiful country on earth lol jokes every country has its own unique features and beauty keep it up bye

Mary Alice Murphy		03-Jun-2007 23:44
I was sent the links to your gorgeous photos of Türkiye by a Turkish friend. We lived in Ankara for 2 1/2 years in the mid-1980s. The people are gracious and hospitable; the history of the country fascinating; and one of the best countries for a photographer like me. I have MANY slides of the country, which I have visited several times since we moved. Thank you for posting your photos for those of us who miss Türkiye and our Turkish friends. Mary Alice Murphy

he dick hoe dan ook je hebt het perfect gedaan man, veel succes

pinar		05-Aug-2006 23:35
I like your pictures very much. They are taking me to places from which I am far away. But don`t be angry about words like `the greatest`or `the best in the world`. For US Turkey IS the most beautiful, most amazing and most lovely country in the world ( although we know that not everything is always perfect !) and therefore we defend every little ``turkish stone`´.It`s just true love...!

Morris		18-Jul-2006 18:25
Dear sir, your site is nice. We invite you to see jewish streets with nice houses. for more info about us: http://www.jewishvirtuallibrary.org/jsource/vjw/Turkey.html

Dick Osseman		13-Jul-2006 08:27
I noticed that the last text is directly from the Wikipedia, or conversely, was put into the Wikipedia by my guest. I do not like this kind of cross-referencing to sources that are its own source. Also, writing in the Wikipedia myself, please improve the English. A sentence like "Because jewels of women were their own goods" is close to being incomprehensible. And I get a bit tired of all those "biggest in the worlds" that some of my guests lay claim to. To me it just proves they don't know the world.

Guest		13-Jul-2006 07:30
Tourists cannot see any jewels which for women in Enderun Treasure of Topkapi Palace.Because jewels of women were their own goods.However, most of the jewels of men belong to the Palace.Although most of the pieces were stolen, The Enderun Treasure is the biggest national treasure in the world. And you may GUESS the THIEVES (HINT: They are from EUROPA).

viridiana		28-Apr-2006 10:06
Great pictures! I was reading a book by Ottaviano Bon describing the Topkapi, and i really felt the need to see some pictures....this site's perfect! thanks!

Duygu Sahin		09-Apr-2006 11:44
Absolutely beautiful. U've done such a great job with this website. And i hope u enjoyed my country as much as i enjoyed your website.

Hakan		14-Mar-2006 20:38
Awesome pictures. Do you have any pictures of the Privy Chamber? Or the Sacred Trusts?

Lynn Maynard		12-Sep-2005 15:16
I would just like to say how much I have enjoyed looking at all your pictures of Turkey. I have been reading about Trebizond of the 15th. century and wondered what it looked like today and by courtesy of the 'net found my way onto your site.
