From Sultan Murad IV Ghazi to Sultan Osman II and Sultan Ibrahim, these formidable leaders shaped the destiny of the Ottoman Empire. In Turkey's vibrant history, one cannot overlook the Janissaries - an elite infantry unit that played a pivotal role in protecting their sultanates.

Immerse yourself in history as you explore 19th-century engravings depicting Janissaries in action.
