Edirne Palace, Ottoman royal palace in Edirne, Turkey

The palace extends along both sides of the Tunca River, containing multiple courtyards, pavilions, reception halls, and administrative buildings within its grounds.

Sultan Murad II initiated the construction in 1450, and the palace reached its zenith during the reigns of Suleiman the Magnificent and Mehmed IV.

The palace integrated water systems with fountains, pools, and underground wells, reflecting Ottoman engineering and architectural methods of the period.

The remaining structures include the Justice Pavilion, kitchen fountain, water gauge, and wells, which visitors can examine during designated hours.

The Justice Pavilion, built by Mimar Sinan in 1561, functioned as the imperial council chamber where Ottoman Empire laws were drafted.
