It is less than a century ago that the Republic of Turkey was founded, bringing almost 700 years of Ottoman rule to an end. Superb palaces, mosques and museum collections still testify to the astonishingly rich history of the former capital. This catalogue, published to accompany the exhibition Istanbul: The City and the Sultan in Amsterdam, draws on the glorious treasures of the sultans from many museums in Istanbul, including the Topkapi, to re-create Istanbul in its Ottoman days.
