Adalet Kasrı, Ottoman tower in Edirne, Turkey
Located at the entrance of Fatih Bridge, Adalet Kasrı stands as a square-shaped tower with internal staircases within its thick walls.
Built in 1561 by architect Mimar Sinan during Sultan Suleiman's reign, this tower remained the only structure from Edirne Palace after 1877 destructions.
The tower served as a location for proclamation of Ottoman laws and featured stones for displaying criminal sentences during the empire period.
The structure provides access to two intermediate floor rooms through staircases integrated into the walls of the main building design.
Six marble stones positioned in front of the tower were designated for placing the heads of executed individuals during Ottoman administration.
