Review:
For a fascinating look into life inside a harem, visitors can take a guided tour of the one at Topkapi Palace. Built as part of the palace complex, the harem housed the sultan and his family as well as the sultan’s concubines, the servants, and the eunuchs who guarded this space. Tourists will have the opportunity to see some of the 300 rooms where the residents of the harem lived and worked. Some parts of the harem are currently being renovated. A chart on the palace’s website gives guests information about which sections they will be able to visit during their tour.
