Its story
Construction of Edirne Palace began in 1450, in the reign of Murad II, on both banks of the Tunca; the palace took on its true identity in the reign of Sultan Mehmed the Conqueror. Spread over a large area with sections such as the Cihannüma Pavilion, the Audience Chamber (Arz Odası), kitchens and harem, the palace was for centuries a hunting and resting place for the sultans. It was largely destroyed when the ammunition stored there was blown up during the Ottoman-Russian War of 1877–78. Today the remains of the Cihannüma Pavilion, the Justice Pavilion (Adalet Kasrı) and excavation areas can be seen; the palace is being revived by the Presidency of National Palaces.
