Turkey: Images 09

Images from the Harem.
The eunochs area.
Unfortunately, most of the harem was roped off and you're not allowed to explore. Not really worth the additional 18TL.
The royal toilet.
The room where the sultan entertained guests.
The sultan's room was locked, so I put my camera up to the keyhole and took this picture.

Some images from Topkapı Palace, home of the Ottoman Sultans for 400 years.
