I found the conical fireplaces a little bizarre, but I'm sure they kept the Sultan and his concubines warm. A Room in the Harem706 viewsA typical room in the harem pavilions had walls recessed with rectangular bays filled with sofas. Pavilion Windows654 viewsGilded grates of one of the gorgeously decorated pavilions in the harem. Stained-Glass Windows599 viewsThe harem pavilions contained many fine examples of the genre. Tiled Doorway654 viewsEntrance to the Circumcision Pavilion. Baghdad Pavilion630 viewsBult to celebrate the Ottoman conquest of Baghdad in 1638. Air and Light624 viewsThe carved wooden shutters opened to admit air and light supplementing the illumination provided by the stained-glass windows. Illumination718 viewsAnother particularly fine example of the stained-glass window genre. Terrace Fountain627 viewsShares the upper terrace of the harem with the Iftar Bower and the Baghdad Pavilion. Stone Balustrade653 viewsOf course no ordinary guardrail would suffice for the terrace of a sultan's harem. I found the 8-pointed star design especially appealing. Sundial634 viewsDates from the reign of Mehmed the Conqueror, who died in 1481. View from the Harem Terrace667 viewsOne example of the superb views of Istanbul to be had from the Topkapi Palace Harem, the Suleymaniye Mosque dominates the skyline to the west. 51 files on 5 page(s) 1 2 3 4 5 Debug Info  Debug Output: show / hide Select All USER: ------------------ Array ( [ID] => 464933757b69b2cc5fd9fa4fe1dd9430 [am] => 1 [liv_a] => Array ( [0] => 3 [1] => 33 ) ) ========================== USER DATA: ------------------ Array ( [user_id] => 0 [user_name] => Guest [groups] => Array ( [0] => 3 ) [group_quota] => 0 [can_rate_pictures] => 1 [can_send_ecards] => 0 [can_post_comments] => 0 [can_upload_pictures] => 0 [can_create_albums] => 0 [pub_upl_need_approval] => 1 [priv_upl_need_approval] => 1 [access_level] => 3 [disk_max] => 0 [disk_min] => 0 [has_admin_access] => 0 [group_name] => Guests [can_create_public_albums] => 0 [can_see_all_albums] => 0 [group_id] => 3 [allowed_albums] => Array ( ) ) ========================== Queries: ------------------ Array ( [0] => SELECT name, value FROM cm_config [include/init.inc.php:177] (0.28 ms) [1] => SELECT * FROM cm_plugins ORDER BY priority [include/plugin_api.inc.php:48] (0.12 ms) [2] => SELECT user_id, time FROM `i5493328_cm1`.cm_sessions WHERE session_id = 'e41733ea0d975702fcfcea3da51ede6e' [bridge/coppermine.inc.php:241] (0.58 ms) [3] => SELECT MAX(group_quota) AS disk_max, MIN(group_quota) AS disk_min, MAX(can_rate_pictures) AS can_rate_pictures, MAX(can_send_ecards) AS can_send_ecards, MAX(can_post_comments) AS can_post_comments, MAX(can_upload_pictures) AS can_upload_pictures, MAX(can_create_albums) AS can_create_albums, MAX(has_admin_access) AS has_admin_access, MAX(access_level) AS access_level, MIN(pub_upl_need_approval) AS pub_upl_need_approval, MIN( priv_upl_need_approval) AS priv_upl_need_approval FROM cm_usergroups WHERE group_id in (3) [bridge/udb_base.inc.php:350] (0.26 ms) [4] => SELECT group_name FROM cm_usergroups WHERE group_id= 3 [bridge/udb_base.inc.php:362] (0.12 ms) [5] => SELECT COUNT(*) FROM cm_categorymap WHERE group_id in (3) [bridge/udb_base.inc.php:375] (0.06 ms) [6] => SELECT aid FROM cm_albums WHERE moderator_group IN (3) [include/init.inc.php:271] (0.29 ms) [7] => SELECT lang_id FROM cm_languages WHERE enabled='YES' [include/init.inc.php:334] (0.08 ms) [8] => DELETE FROM cm_banned WHERE expiry < '2026-06-15 01:10:30' [include/init.inc.php:448] (0.44 ms) [9] => SELECT null FROM cm_banned WHERE ('216.73.217.71' LIKE ip_addr OR '' LIKE ip_addr ) AND brute_force=0 LIMIT 1 [include/init.inc.php:464] (1.1 ms) [10] => SELECT aid FROM cm_albums WHERE (1 AND visibility != 0 AND visibility != 10000 AND visibility NOT IN (3)) [include/functions.inc.php:1110] (0.67 ms) [11] => SELECT category, title, aid, keyword, description, alb_password_hint FROM cm_albums WHERE aid = 33 [thumbnails.php:96] (0.49 ms) [12] => SELECT p.cid, p.name FROM cm_categories AS c, cm_categories AS p WHERE c.lft BETWEEN p.lft AND p.rgt AND c.cid = 14 ORDER BY p.lft [include/functions.inc.php:2940] (0.07 ms) [13] => SELECT null FROM cm_albums WHERE category < 10000 AND uploads='YES' AND (visibility = '0' OR visibility IN (3)) AND aid = '33' [include/themes.inc.php:2063] (0.66 ms) [14] => SELECT null FROM cm_albums WHERE category < 10000 AND uploads='YES' AND (visibility = '0' OR visibility IN (3)) AND aid = '33' [include/themes.inc.php:2063] (0.07 ms) [15] => SELECT title, keyword FROM cm_albums WHERE aid = 33 [include/functions.inc.php:2461] (0.55 ms) [16] => SELECT COUNT(*) FROM cm_pictures WHERE ((aid='33' AND aid NOT IN (12, 51) ) ) AND approved='YES' [include/functions.inc.php:1408] (0.06 ms) [17] => SELECT r.pid, r.aid, filepath, filename, url_prefix, pwidth, pheight, filesize, ctime, r.title, r.keywords, r.votes, pic_rating, hits, caption, r.owner_id, user1, user2, user3, user4 FROM cm_pictures AS r WHERE ((aid = 33 AND aid NOT IN (12, 51) ) )AND approved='YES' ORDER BY position DESC, pid DESC LIMIT 3 ,12 [include/functions.inc.php:1439] (2.42 ms) [18] => SELECT extension, mime, content, player FROM cm_filetypes [include/functions.inc.php:5952] (0.1 ms) [19] => UPDATE cm_albums SET alb_hits = alb_hits + 1 WHERE aid = 33 [include/functions.inc.php:2895] (0.63 ms) ) ========================== GET : ------------------ Array ( [album] => 33 [page] => 4 ) ========================== POST : ------------------ Array ( ) ========================== COOKIE : ------------------ Array ( [a520716e4e1a802c3b699f97dd5ac36c] => f1778187cddef3161725f64e23e040c4 [cpg16x_data] => YTozOntzOjI6IklEIjtzOjMyOiI0NjQ5MzM3NTdiNjliMmNjNWZkOWZhNGZlMWRkOTQzMCI7czoyOiJhbSI7aToxO3M6NToibGl2X2EiO2E6MTp7aTowO2k6Mzt9fQ== ) ==========================
