The term 'Turkish Palace' refers to a type of building known as a SERAGLIO or serai. A SERAGLIO is a large palace complex that was used by the Ottoman sultans and their court. It typically included a number of buildings, such as a mosque, a harem, and a treasury, as well as gardens and other outdoor spaces. The serai was the center of the Ottoman Empire's political and social life, and it was often surrounded by high walls for protection.
