Edirne Palace

Edirne Palace or Edirne Sarayı, formerly New Imperial Palace, was a palace of the Ottoman sultans in Edirne, mostly during the era when the city was the capital of the empire. Few of the palace buildings have survived until now, however works are underway for its reconstruction. Construction of the palace began in 1450 AD during the reign of Murad II, however stopped when the sultan died. After some time of interruption, it was completed by Mehmed the Conqueror in 1475 AD.
