The Seat of Ottoman Power
... bloodbath as the sons battled it out among themselves for the throne. In later years the sultans adopted the more generous practice and of simply keeping their rivals imprisoned for years in cages. We saw the kafes where brothers and rivals of a succeeding sultan were confined so they could not make any trouble for the new ruler.
At the rear end of the palace complex is an area called the Tulip Garden. A late addition to Topkapi, it has some of the most ...
