Pavilion of the Sacred Relics
Topkapi Palace Museum, Istanbul
A first time comprehensive album presenting the marvellous collection of Sacred Relics
The collection includes more than 600 invaluable belongings of prophets such as Abraham, Moses and Prophet Muhammad (pbuh), the Prophet's Companions, as well as a number of Muslim saints. Excavated from the most restricted rooms of the palace, the entire selection is compiled here for the first time,including those that are not on exhibit for daily visits.
The Topkapi Palace houses many items and relics collected and donated over a large period in history. Many relics of the Prophet Muhammad (pbuh) were brought to the palace by Yavuz Sultan Selim I, upon the conquest of Egypt in 1517.
During the First World War, a decision was made t o evacuate the cities of Makkah and Madina. To prevent thier damage or loss, the gifts which had been sent from Istanbul to Makkah
for centuries, as well as some of the sacred relics, were brought to the Topkapi Palace, Istanbul.
The Sacred Trusts captures and contains these items and relics in thier full glory combined with a fascinating history.
