Built between 1460 and 1478 by Sultan Mehmed II, this elaborate palace was the home of the Ottoman sultans and courts until the middle of the 19th century. It became a museum in the 1920s. As well as the incredible riches on display in its countless rooms, pavilions and courtyards, the vast complex has an array of decorative ceilings to ogle at. Some of the most lavish can be found in the harem, the exquisitely tiled family quarters. If you're visiting when it's safe to travel again, note the museum is closed on Tuesdays.
