Baghdad Pavilion660 viewsBult to celebrate the Ottoman conquest of Baghdad in 1638. Dome of the Council Hall659 viewsThe Imperial Council building had three chambers, each crowned with a dome. Entrance to the Imperial Council Hall655 viewsThe Grand Vizier and the various ministers held their deliberations here, while the Sultan could watch hidden through a golden grille upstairs and order someone strangled or beheaded when they said something that displeased him.. Air and Light653 viewsThe carved wooden shutters opened to admit air and light supplementing the illumination provided by the stained-glass windows. The Audience Chamber (Arz Odasi)652 viewsAlso known as the Chamber of Petitions. The main throne room was inside this pavilion. Council Hall - Domed Ceiling649 viewsThe Council Hall dates from the reign of Suleiman the Magnificent (16th century), but has been restored several times since. The rococo decorations seen here date from the renovations of 1792 and 1819. Terrace Fountain646 viewsShares the upper terrace of the harem with the Iftar Bower and the Baghdad Pavilion. Silver Globe645 viewsSome of the pieces in the silver collection were made in the Imperial Mint, some in other workshops attached to the palace, and some were presents from European diplomats. Silver Brazier642 viewsPresented to Sultan Abdul Hamid II on the 25th anniversary of his accession to the throne (1901). First Courtyard635 viewsLooking back along its tree-lined main avenue toward the Imperial Gate. Ceiling Decor634 viewsConsummate artistry was expressed in every aspect of the palace structure, including the ceilings. The ugly hanging pipes are presumably a modern addition - a safeguard against the fires which devastated many parts of the palace in previous times. 51 files on 5 page(s) 1 2 3 4 5 Debug Info  Debug Output: show / hide Select All USER: ------------------ Array ( [ID] => 09c73cc6e2b77fb5af1ebbe23883ec50 [am] => 1 ) ========================== 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] (0.26 ms) [1] => SELECT * FROM cm_plugins ORDER BY priority [include/plugin_api.inc.php:48] (0.09 ms) [2] => SELECT user_id, time FROM `i5493328_cm1`.cm_sessions WHERE session_id = '89456934f0f8341ff380a6e0ac466d5b' [bridge/coppermine.inc.php:241] (0.44 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] (0.35 ms) [4] => SELECT group_name FROM cm_usergroups WHERE group_id= 3 [bridge/udb_base.inc.php:362] (0.07 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] (0.06 ms) [7] => SELECT lang_id FROM cm_languages WHERE enabled='YES' [include/init.inc.php:334] (0.07 ms) [8] => DELETE FROM cm_banned WHERE expiry < '2026-07-30 04:41:21' [include/init.inc.php:448] (0.17 ms) [9] => SELECT null FROM cm_banned WHERE ('216.73.216.63' LIKE ip_addr OR '' LIKE ip_addr ) AND brute_force=0 LIMIT 1 [include/init.inc.php:464] (0.17 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] (1.13 ms) [11] => SELECT category, title, aid, keyword, description, alb_password_hint FROM cm_albums WHERE aid = 33 [thumbnails.php:136] (0.08 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] (0.06 ms) [13] => SELECT COUNT(*) FROM cm_pictures AS r INNER JOIN cm_albums AS a ON a.aid = r.aid WHERE (r.aid = 33) AND r.aid NOT IN (12, 51) AND approved = 'YES' AND hits > 0 [include/functions.inc.php:1717] (0.06 ms) [14] => 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 INNER JOIN cm_albums AS a ON a.aid = r.aid WHERE (r.aid = 33) AND r.aid NOT IN (12, 51) AND approved = 'YES' AND hits > 0 ORDER BY hits ASC, pid DESC LIMIT 3 ,12 [include/functions.inc.php:1734] (1.16 ms) [15] => SELECT extension, mime, content, player FROM cm_filetypes [include/functions.inc.php:5952] (0.09 ms) ) ========================== GET : ------------------ Array ( [album] => topn [cat] => -33 [page] => 4 ) ========================== POST : ------------------ Array ( ) ========================== COOKIE : ------------------ Array ( [a520716e4e1a802c3b699f97dd5ac36c] => f983f7b9d0dcc64cacbdb6fa99c2495b [cpg16x_data] => YToyOntzOjI6IklEIjtzOjMyOiIwOWM3M2NjNmUyYjc3ZmI1YWYxZWJiZTIzODgzZWM1MCI7czoyOiJhbSI7aToxO30= ) ==========================
