Harem state room

view map

This is not quite a room of state. Since it is within the harem it would not be a room to entertain foreign dignitaries, they were welcomed elsewehere in the palace. Here the sultan would be "en famille".

This is an older picture, in 2017 I added many fresh ones.

Harem means "the hidden" in Ottoman Turkish. No foreigners ( man or woman ) are allowed to enter. Only family of the sultan and the related servants can enter Harem.
