turkish mosque and palace of the pacha of egypt in the park 1867 citadel Ottoman government
turkish mosque and palace of the pacha of egypt in the park 1867 In addition to strengthening the walls with round bastions, Ali Pacha built a citadel at the south-eastern corner of the town. The Ottoman government was also known as the Sublime Porte after the fine gate leading to the headquarters of the Grand Vizier in Topkapi Palace. Most likely Ali Pacha had this in mind when he commissioned the gate for his citadel. The palace where Ali Pacha set his residence is lost: it is said to have housed a harem of more than 300 women (wives, concubines and odalisques) in an attempt to emulate the Sultan's seraglio. In 1913 Ioanina was incorporated into Greece and the buildings of the citadel went through many changes: in recent times they were restored and opened to the public.
