Harem is a place that has been very curious for centuries. It has not been possible to obtain much information about the harem because it smells very strongly. Therefore, a lot of information circulating among locals and foreigners has been produced. Unfortunately, most of this information is false. Let's explore the Harem together objectively and impartially.
I tried to capture as much detail as possible. That's why I recorded some places from more than one angle.
With a plan of Harem you can make your visit easier. Here is the plan of Harem for download:

#harem #istanbul #topkapipalace
Sad story but beautiful and magnificent architecture. They had their goods and bads like any other empire. Glad that these practices legally don't exist anymore.
Yes, you're absolutely right.
I was there nearly two weeks ago. I found the entire palace beautiful.
Oh yes, the palace is very beautiful. ☺️
I visited the place in 2020 v.beautiful, Turkey has come long way to reach democracy, love 💘 from Pakistan
Thank you very much. I hope you can visit Istanbul asap. 🌼
Watching this after watching the Magnificent Century hits different, *they really made most of the scenes here in the real palace!*
As I know they didn't made the videos in the real palace. They made replicas of the palace.
@@IstanbulTheQueenofCities
Yes most of the scenes were in other buildings but the room of the mother of the sultan in the series is an exact copy of the ceremony hall in this video, such as the Sultan's room, and many hallways in the Harem too. So I suppose they did acted in some of the real places
@@user-mm8ei9nx4o This website tells that the videos filmed at the Topaki Palace:
www.historians.org/research-and-publications/perspectives-on-history/summer-2014/magnificent-century-historical-turkish-soap-opera-finds-a-global-audience#:~:text=Magnificent%20Century%20was%20filmed%20at,archive%20open%20to%20the%20public.
What was the secret that the title mentions?
@@IstanbulTheQueenofCities is that true? Why replica? Why fence of a replica?
It’s beautiful but just like the forbidden city I felt the dramas and emotions of the women who lived there
Yes, you're right.
Wonderful stonework everywhere. Those floor designs are beautiful. Even the walls inside and out have variety, not just one way to lay them. And then there are those stunning mosaics and tiles. Gorgeous.
Definitely, the house of the sultan should be amazing 😊
This is the first history of the Harem I’ve watched which actually shows the Harem as it currently stands. Definitely on my list of places to explore
Yes, Harem is definitely a place to "must be explored."
Thank you soo so much for up loading this video. It's so intresting to watch and learn something about this chapter of turkish history❤ would love to visit Istanbul one day
Thank you for watching the video. I had great fun while preparing the video. Because Topkapı Palace contains mystery and information in every corner. I am currently preparing a video about Topkapi Palace. I'm sure you'll like it very much too. I hope you can visit Istanbul as soon as possible. Because Istanbul is the queen of cities.
@@IstanbulTheQueenofCities one day i will travel to istanbul ❤
Visited the Palace its fantastic. The display of jewellery and gifts is absolutely amazing an absolute must visit if you go to Istanbul. A city full of amazing sites, the mosques are so beautiful. We visited the Blue Mosque its breathtaking. The Hagia Sofia unfortunately which was beautiful inside before the artwork was ruined when it got defaced as it was built as a Christian Cathedral when it was Constantinople so it obviously had biblical scenes on the walls.
We had to purchase 2 tickets one for the Harem and one for the rest.
Yes, definitely. For this, Istanbul is the queen of cities ☺️
Wow, the video was so thorough that I felt like I was teleported there.
Apart from watching the video, imagine the feelings when you visit the Harem 😉
Wow thank you so much for sharing this. I'd seen many video about Topkapi Palace but none compares to this one. Very detailed, good resolution, clear and concise information. Please continue to make more videos with other historical sites and landmarks of Türkiye🇹🇷
Thank you very much. I put a lot of effort into making the video. But the important thing for me is that the video is useful for you and that you like it. I hope to meet you in new beautiful videos. Greetings from Istanbul.☀
Please ; do watch other vıdeo . All of them perfect. Actually istanbul is very exciting. Follow us .
Best and most informative video I’ve seen so far on harem at this beautiful palace. Thank you 😊
Thank you very much.
I'm very happy that you liked the video.
I hope you can visit Harem asap. 🌼
Basically the Harem was considered the inner palace and where the royal family and concubines lived.
Yes, correct.
This is one of the BEST video's of the harem and ottoman empire I've watched.
Thank you very much for your kind words. I hope you'll like our other videos too. Stay with love and health bro.
What a great upload - this is a real gem of a find for me. Wonderful video with a lovely soundtrack 😊 Some years back I had the pleasure of visiting both Topkapi and Dolmebache Palaces, and whilst both palaces are stunning, the harems in both palaces had a certain vibe that for me at least - gave them a heavy, and rather gloomy atmosphere. I think its hard for the modern mind to get a real feel for what life must have been like for the inhabitants of these institutions... from the women themselves, to the eunachs and halberdiers that minded them, and not least the Sultan and his immediate family themselves. A facinating - if somewhat grim - period in history. Thanks again for this lovely video tour 😊
We thank you for liking our video.
The Harem was a fascinating place for the Sultan, but not an easy place for women. With this video, we at least got to know Harem a little better.
Thank you very much again. We hope you visit Istanbul again soon. Love and greetings from Istanbul.
@IstanbulTheQueenofCities Thank you for your very kind reply - funnily enough, my husband and me were discussing only a few weeks back how much we'd love to visit Istanbul again now that our children are older. We will visit your wonderful city again soon enough - Insh'allah 😊🙏
Thank you too for your kind words. You and your husband are every time welcome to our lovely city.
If there's anything what we can do for you, please don't hesitate to text. We'll do our best.
@@IstanbulTheQueenofCities 💖🙏
Very nicely done! As the video progressed I kept imagining people walking in the various rooms, the Sultan holding audiences, etc. great trip back in time. Palace is beautiful and I was in awe of the artistry. Gorgeous.
I had the same feelings when I recorded the videos. ☺
You can really picture yourself there-the feel of the floors as you walk, the surface of the walls- just stunning.
Beautiful Palace but full of Cursed!A bloody Palace!
Yes you're definitely right.
Yes it's true it's beautiful but it's cursed because a lot of blood was shed there what a pity
Sex palace
Me emocionei ao assistir. Agora quero ir pessoalmente mais que nunca.
Obrigado pelo comentário. Sim, é um lugar muito diferente. As pessoas percebem isso melhor quando visitam.
Fascinating video. I've always loved learning about this culture and I've never seen a better video of the palace. Such a beautiful place. And you presented it so well I could picture the women of the harem going to classes, or relaxing in the baths, or attending celebrations. Just lovely.. Thank you for making this video.
Thank you so much for these lovely comment. I watched almost every video about the Harem, read many articles. I went to the Harem 3 times to understand better. Although I lived in Istanbul for decades, I learned a lot while preparing it. I hope you will come as soon as possible and see the Harem by yourself. Thank you very much again.
If you want to know a other place better, please make a comment. I'll prepare it. 🌼
Life for these Women were Not always a Pleasure Ride. These women were held captive against their will. Existing only to Sexually Please the "Big, Important Male"!! Step Out of Your "Dream World"!!
This vlog was awesome makes me want too visit more
Istanbul is calling you 😀
Loved the upload.
Talk about a guilded cage.
Thank you very much. The only guilded cage I know are in the bathrooms.
@@IstanbulTheQueenofCities I think that I started typing when the Sultan areas were being shown.
@@jenniferodonnell2394 No problem ☺
@@IstanbulTheQueenofCities I believe she is saying the whole place is a gilded cage, beautiful but all were slaves in one way or another...it's a metaphor, life of luxury and wealth with no real freedom....
@@thewraith3366 Yes, I totally agree.
Thanks
Glad that you liked the video ☺️
Istanbul - The Queen of Cities💔
This is a good video. The harem is a really beautiful place. But only very few had a great life here. Those few lucky who managed to became valide sultanas. The others ..... As the sultans changed so changed the concubines. Read somewhere that in most of the cases the concubines were moved to make place for the concubines of the new sultan. But was cases when the concubines were throw in Bosporus. Also cases when only the pregnant ones ended in Bosporus. Very many tragic stories around this place.
Yes, you’re unfortunately right.
@@IstanbulTheQueenofCities And all those many prince, the younger brothers. Killed when their elder one reached the throne. Forgot which one was the one, when got the thron in that very night 19 of his younger brothers all were killed. Insane! Even the inhabitants of Istanbul were revolted when saw the 19 coffins!
@@csillab3804you are talking about Sultan Ahmet who didn’t kill his brother Mustafa but locked him up in the circa kiosk then at his death when Osman Sultan was throned he killed his brother Mehmet….. The 19 coffins were from the father of Ahmet Sultan Mehmet ll who killed 19 of his brother or male who could dethrone him
Klobouk dolů před architektem všechno je tak nádherné a do puntíku promyšlené jak se v paláci mohli vyznat je to hotové bludiště nádhera 🤴👸👍
Děkuji mnohokrát za váš komentář. Ano, palác je velmi krásný a detailní. Zvláště Harem je jako labyrint. Architekti pracovali dobře.
Hermosísimo!! Cuánta historia dentro y fuera de esas paredes.😍
Sí, tienes mucha razón.
Awsome full detailed video. Well done. Excellent narration
Thank you very much. You're welcome. 💛
@@IstanbulTheQueenofCities no worries appreciate ur reply
It is perfect video. Thank you so much
Thank you too.
This series is wonderful and interesting, I enjoy it a lot even if I don't see it, it's on my mind . how to tell a magical story to a child
Love it from México 🇲🇽It is true that a lot of blood was shed and there were cursed people, but at that time they survived that way
Thank you very much for your nice message. We are trying to prepare many beauties of Istanbul such as Hagia Sophia and Topkapi Palace. We hope you'll like them too.
Unfortunately, in ancient times, wars were fought in vain and much blood was shed. However, the meaning of life is found with peace and love.
Thank you very much again. Best regards from Istanbul to Mexico. 🌼
Thank you , very interesting. But this video made me very sad . I imagine how was the life there ...as a prison for women
You’re welcome. Thank you for the comment. Unfortunately you’re right. The Harem was not a vacation place for women 😔
@@IstanbulTheQueenofCities and not just for women , for all people there , all must serve this sultan ...also I saw this small cold place...poor slaves
Yes, you’re right.
I don't agree. It's no more a prison than the lives women today, ex pet for the rich. For those not priviledged, harem living was a career opportunity with lots of perks like free education, healthcare, food and protection.
Beautiful video! Well done and very informative ❤
We are very pleased that you liked our video. Thank you very much.
It's crazy how once prohibited for outsiders to enter is now, open for anyone around the world to enter😊..if only Sultan cud see us entering his palace and harem without his permission
Yes, you're right :)
Sultan gud?
Thank you for sharing information
You're welcome ☺
Beautiful Palace . Superb!
Yes, definitely 🌼
nice video
Thank you very much. We hope that you’ll like our other videos. ☺️
It’s a good video for information of Topkapi Palace. Thank you.
Thank you too.
cok tesekkurler hocam
Ben teşekkür ederim.
Beautiful video ❤
Thank you very much ☺️
The best video of Harem in Topkapi palace
Thank you very much ☺
Wonderful video!I enjoyed it verry much!I wonder if there was a garden arround the harrem...
Thank you very much. The "Gülhane Park" beneath the palace was a garden of the palace before. Today it's now separated from the palace.
Excellent video 🔆
Thank you very much. If you need anything to ask, please don't hesitate. Nice greetings from Istanbul.
Thank you for the great tour.
You're welcome 🌺
Turkey has come a long way since those "sick customs" 😢. Thank God.
Which the best customs nation or which empire that have customs we should follow as example ? Tell me one,
Look at your nation first or your ancestors first before go around to tell anyone what is right what is wrong...if right according to whom, if wrong according to who ?...do you know in christianism your religion have allow people to commit incest, in the bible several type of incest you should commit and follow, and today the high race people commit such evil act it is a christian nation, your community ( incest is a father fuck with daughter, mother fuck with son and sibling fuck each other ) dont tell me what is fine customs what is the sick customs
@@reefmohammed3553 you are so right……at least the Ottomans build the infrastructure in Serbia,famous Turkish stone roads ( for whatever reason) and didn’t destroy them….
Ottomans kept almost untouched Serbian monasteries and churches,Great Ottoman Empire didn’t do that, but now ….in Kosovo 😢,small little Albanians…..
Regardless of the history between the Ottomans and Serbs ,I agree with you
What is that A/ Hungarian empire left to Croatia,Slovenia etc….
Keep healthy
@@reefmohammed3553 The one with justice and fairness. No slavery, no monarchy.
It is not sick customs, it is a period of History
@21:00 I would like to comment on this piece of information regarding painting of living things. It's actually prohibited to paint, sculpture, or take photos of living things in Islam. I'm not sure if it is mentioned in the quran, but I am sure it's mentioned in the prophet's hadith.
Thank you for your comment. During preparing the text I used this information from this article:
tulipandrose.net/en/quran-paintings-statue/
Thanks again.
I hope you can visit Istanbul soon. Stay with love.
Super video
Vielen Dank.
Super Video
A prison is a prison regardless of how beautiful the walls and floors are. Poor young girls captured and forced to live in this dark cold palace and have then have your children murdered.😢
☹️
Watch Magnificient Century to put context to these buildings.

Спасибо за видео.
Спасибо. 😊
فيديو مفيد جدا
شكرا
wow amazing
Thanks.
Recently I heard a rather loose definition of a harem on the radio: “Many people think that a harem is a place with a swimming pool, where lots of naked slatterns swim. (original text - голые прошмандовки). It isn’t so, the radio host said, it’s more than that, actually”… Quite funny, at least that’s what I thought to myself…
Thank you for sharing your thoughts with us.
@@IstanbulTheQueenofCities - You're welcome.
No sé porque tantos colores diferentes bueno esa era su cultura en palacios/ Ami en realidad me gustan los palacios de europa antigua las formas sin tantos azulejos de colores diferentes/no se aque se debía poner tantos azulejos diferentes
Este é o estilo dos otomanos. Os otomanos adoraram assim.

Istanbul - The Queen of Cities
I’m just trying to figure out how many bedrooms were in the palace.
Only "higher" people had a private bedroom. The others had to sleep in common bedrooms.
@@IstanbulTheQueenofCitiesI still would like to know how many bedrooms were in the harem.
@@auntielu4394 Hello again. It is not possible to know this. Because the Ottomans generally did not have a separate bedroom. The room where people lived during the day was transformed into a place to sleep at night by laying out a bed and pillow. For this reason, it is not possible to talk about separate bedrooms used today.
Good analysis
Thank you very much.
Where is the last generation of this palace!!?
After the declaration of the Republic, the dynasty was exiled from the country in 1924.
Very good video👌💯
Thank you very much.
❤❤
Which language is written on walls?
The writings on the walls are generally in Arabic.
sehr schön
Danke.
People ,thinks that the Haren women were like to be in the palaces, it wasn't like that ,not all the woman were favorites of the Sultan,yes they have some luxury, but they were slaves,women to satisfied, the Sultan, or his people.
Yes, you're definitely right. Thanks for sharing your opinion.
It was a nice video

Are there any existing harems in today's age?
In fact, harem is already a practice contrary to the Quran. Nowadays, it can be considered as the fact that some men in the Eastern region of Turkey are married to more than one woman. But I have neither heard of nor know that there was a Harem as it was in ancient times.
What is the mall culter represent now adays?❤️❤️❤️.
I don't know, sorry.
SUBHAAN ALLAAH
Beautiful video, but we didn't get to see any bedrooms. Why did the Ottoman Empire only select black boys or men, to become eunuchs?
Thank you very much.
The first sultans stayed in the special room next to the Sacred Relics. Sultan Murad III let built a new privy room for hisself. Then the other sultans had their own rooms built.
Cushions and mattresses were lined up during the day. At night, the cushions were lifted and the bed was laid. The Ottomans did not have a fixed bed like today. They were occasionally together with their spouses.
* * *
The eunuchs were serving in the Harem and Enderum in Topkapi Palace. Black eunuchs in Harem, white eunuchs in enderun.
My guess: Men were not allowed in the Harem. Only black eunuchs could enter. In this way, it was also prevented for a man to enter by hiding in women's clothing.
I heard when they castrate men, they get really afraid and their testies shrunk in a very small size. Castration was done by 2 ways, one was crushing the testies. Because the testicles have shrunken into very small size during castration, sometimes they get healed over time. There were many incidents that concubines and eunuchs were having relationships with each other in the past, having black eunuchs would make it obvious that the baby would be half black. So that’s why they started having black eunuchs i think.
Hello Teresa, most Eunuch are black to determine the faithfulness of the concubines. so that in the event that any concubine will get pregnant, if the child will have a color then it proves that they are unfairhful
@@IstanbulTheQueenofCitiesI want to see the room of Hurrem sultan and of course Valide Mozzame Kosem Sultan! Please make a video on their rooms and dressing rooms
@@niverahamed8920 Thanks for your suggestion. But as I know they didn"t had specials rooms. Every Valide Sultan used the same room. But I'll search. I hope I'll find something.
Imagine the stress in home decorating if you’re designing things to prevent murder attempts…
You’re right

Where is the golden path the room of hurrem and mahidevran?

Interesant palat ! însă pe lângă scopul administrativ al imperiului, o închisoare de maximă siguranță pt niște femei nevinovate. Sclavagism oribil!
Da ai dreptate din pacate.
👍🏻
😎
Why the rooms are not open
Sorry, I don’t know.
MAA SHAAA ALLAAH
Thank you very much. 😊
The Harem is a Super polygamous family of a sultar, its not a education place for women. But its a education plave to teavh sex and pressure for the Sultan. In modern days it call a brothel.
Add the word : sultan.... so you can attract more views
Thank you very much. I added "sultan" to the title.
"Harem" means Forbidden ❓️
The origin of the word harem is haramu(m) and comes from Akkadian and means “to cover, hide, withhold from others. In Arabic it has the meaning of separating, isolating, means "protected, sacred and venerable thing or place."
💕
Your choices of REPETITIVE 'music' between your explanations is UNNECESSARILY DISTRACTING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! OTHERWISE, a fine and informative tour.
Thank you for your feedback.
Neden türkçe alt yazı yok 😮
Turkce altyazi eklenmistir. Bilginiz olsun. Tesekkur ederiz.
I don't agree with the narrative built into this video, as some of the information is misinterpreted.
For Example, Sculpture and living creature paintings ARE PROHIBITED by Quran. Ottomans took inspiration from the Quran and added them as part of their tradition, and they were quite strict about them.
Still, some violations were made by a few Sultans.
Thank you for your comment. You can read this about sculpture and painting in the Quran:
tulipandrose.net/en/quran-paintings-statue/
Corruption, abuse and sex slaves were practiced freely....representing and following their true religion. Shamefull history.
Well they didn't really apply the Islamic rules to sultans and princes unless they wanted to. They had their own portraits, did zinah with slaves, became monarchs (monarchy is not Islamic system), also practised fratricide law for about one and a half century. So they weren't really strict about Islam but more strict about traditions and cultural practices.
Shoes haram you belong?😭😭.Is today the harams existing in modern Indian Soc.? 🏆🏆🏆.
Instead of shoes its written shoes .correct it.
No idea.
Thirst of power, corruption, heavily abused women, fratricide...
And they were doing all of these horrible acts under their religious beliefs....what a religion this was!!
@@alysehabib8344 Slavery, concubinage, eunuchs and monarchy is not Islamic. This was their culture. Islam said to free and marry slaves with their consent, not to do zinah with them (concubinage) neither castrate them (eunuchs). These are inhumane practices.
İslam bu değildir. Şuan yahudilerin gazzeyi vurması gibi. Yahudilik bu değildir!
