Edirne Palace
The famous Edirne Palace is a ruined historical landmark where the city’s history and the Ottoman’s architectural style can still be seen to this date. Built in the 1400’s, the castle was the residence of the Ottoman Sultans before the conquest of Istanbul. The central hub of the political matters of the empire at that time, the now-ruined castle is one of the most prominent historical landmarks of the city.
