Six programmes on the civilisations of Turkey
Written and introduced by John Julius Norwich
6: The Ottoman Empire
The Harem of the Turkish sultans in Topkapi Palace has for centuries been a byword for splendour and decadence. From these dazzling rooms the Ottoman empire was governed and misruled. Their capital, Constantinople, was transformed by buildings such as the Blue Mosque into the Istanbul of today. In the final programme of the series LORD NORWICH brings his survey of Turkish history up to the present.
