Abstract

The palace serves as a legitimacy tool for states that operate under a monarchical system of administration and for the dynasty holding power. It is the residence and administrative location of the highest ruler of the state. Thus, the edifice has the ability to depict the period and civilization it embodies in the most elevated manner. The palace has been a crucial emblem of Ottoman society for 600 years, spanning the inception of the civilization. Although Bursa Bey Palace and Edirne Old Palace, erected in Ottoman capitals, have not withstood the passage of time, Edirne New Palace acted as a blueprint for Istanbul's Topkapı Palace, serving as an efficient residence until the final days of the Ottoman Empire. The palace now stands deserted as a result of the Ottoman-Russian war and subsequent destruction. This study focuses on excavations carried out in 2020 to uncover its heritage, which encompasses Ottoman architecture and art from the II. Murad period to the late 19th century in a diverse manner, and to reintroduce certain components into contemporary Turkish cultural life. The article presents the land applications and data gathered during the excavation period.
