Adalet Kulesi is a Historical Landmark within the Topkapi Palace. The monument is also known as the Justice Tower of Ottoman Empire. The tallest tower is visible in the distance.

Adalet Kulesi (Tower of Justice) has been always surprisingly inconspicuous, although it was intended to be built as a symbol of sultan’s eternal stance against injustice. The tower was built as an extension of Topkapı Palace. Adalet Kulesi is easily recognizable as the tallest part of Topkapı Palace. Adalet Kulesi was constructed by Mehmet II after he captured Constantinople. Mehmet II developed an elegant system for council meetings, starting with the state council being chaired by the grand vizier. The Sultan separated himself from his council by glass dividing walls, which made him invisible. If the sultan had intended on watching the meeting, he drew the curtains, indicating to the council members understood he had been watching. If not, the council members would have never known whether or not the sultan had watched. All critical state decisions were determined in Adalet Tower. The tower experienced everything alongside the Ottoman Empire.

(Translated by Google) It is the tallest structure in the palace. It is the most distinctive part of the palace when viewed from the Bosphorus, and has a monumental place in the silhouette. It is intended to symbolize the eternal justice of the Ottoman sultan, to be seen by everyone from afar and to be sure of the sultan's justice. (Original) Sarayın en yüksek yapısıdır. Boğazdan bakıldığında sarayın en belirgin bölümüdür, silüet içerisinde anıtsal bir yeri vardır. Osmanlı sultanının sonsuz adaletini sembolize etmesi, uzaktan bakıldığında herkesin görmesi ve sultanın adaletinden emin olması amaçlanmıştır.

(Translated by Google) There is a museum next to the diplomatic room. Definitely go here, it's worth it. It is a treasury of diplomatic gifts that the sultans received from other nations or monarchs. There are brutally decorated weapons and armor. (Original) Vedľa diplomatickej miestnosti je múzeum. Sem určite choďte stojí to za to. Je to totiž pokladnica diplomatických darov, ktoré dostávali sultáni od iných národov či panovníkov. Sú tu brutálne zdobené zbrane a zbroje.

(Translated by Google) A small window on the wall At the top of the council hall or the court The Sultan himself (or one of his spies) listens to the ministers behind a curtain, and if he does not like what is going on, he orders the killing or imprisonment of that member of the council, and this was, of course, the “justice” of the Sultan. (Original) نافذة صغيرة على الحائط في أعلى قاعة المجلس او الديوان يستمع منها السلطان نفسه (أو أحد جواسيسه) إلى الوزراء خلف ستارة وإذا لم يعجبه ما يدور من الكلام ، أمر بقتل أو سجن ذلك العضو في المجلس ، فكان هذا بالطبع “عدالة” السلطان.

A fairly unremarkable tower that stands at the entrance of the harem

(Translated by Google) The magnificent and fascinating view is unfortunately not open to visitors. It is also known as the symbol and monument of Ottoman justice. (Original) Muhteşem ve büyüleyici manzara maalesef ziyaretçilere açık değil.Osmanlı adaletinin simgesi ve anıtı olarakta bilinir

The tower of justice is one of the most beautiful towers in instanbul. I love how you can see the tower from any place of the city.

Seemingly inconspicuous within the wider Topkapi complex at first, when you look at the tower on top of this building, the architectural style is really quite out of place with its local neighbours and with Istanbul in general. I rather enjoy the tower, perhaps more reminiscent of a Nicholas Hawksmoor church in London than of a sultan's palace, but very enjoyable all the same.

Very beautiful place. Its architectural design is very beautiful.

Great place. It is a part of the Topkapi complex.
