In it's inumerous chambers, the Topkapi Palace holds some of the sacred relics from profets like Muhammad, Abraham and Moses...

It is believed that the Blessed Mantle (also known as the Holy Mantle), Abraham's Pot, Joseph's Turban, Moses's Staff or David's Sword can be seen on display and have been kept all this years, along with Muhammad's footprint.

It's not allowed to take pictures (not even without flash) and the chambers are very dark - that's why I apologize for the quality, but you can see this and other sacred relics, along with ancient turkish costumes and other treasure parts that belonged to the sultan in the Topkapi Palace - Istanbul...
