The official ceremonies venue where diplomatic meetings were held and state guests were received.
The Mabeyn-i Hümayun section served as the administrative center of the palace, assuming the function of the official ceremonies area where the sultan met with those outside the palace.
This section was used for receptions, diplomatic meetings, and various state ceremonies. Its ornate decoration reflects the solemnity of the palace's public representative areas.
The rooms in the Mabeyn suite are positioned in a hierarchical order, each dedicated to a specific category of guest and type of meeting.
