The Fatih Tower, the only surviving part of the palace where Ottoman princes served as provincial governors.

Its story

The palace, the administrative center of the Saruhan Sanjak, was built in the reign of Murad II and enlarged under Mehmed II. Many Ottoman princes gained administrative experience here as provincial governors (sancakbeyi). When the practice of sending princes to the provinces ended, the palace fell into neglect, and its wooden sections burned completely in the 1922 fire. Today the only surviving building of the palace is the Fatih Tower.
