Sublime Porte |

The term widely used for the Ottoman government until the Ottoman Empire was dissolved following the First World War. It is a half English and half French rendering of Bãbi Ali (strictly, ‘high gate’), the original name of the gate at the end of the second court of the sultan\'s palace in Istanbul (today known as the Topkapi Palace). This name was later transferred to the grand vizier\'s residence outside the palace; hence its association with the Ottoman government. |
