Mehmet II (30 March 1432 – 3 May 1481), born Mehmed bin Murad (Turkish: II Mehmet; Ottoman Turkish: Mehmed-i sani), was the seventh Sultan of the Ottoman Empire from 1444 to September 1446, and from February 1451 to 1481.

In 1459, he initiated the construction of the Topkapı Palace in Constantinople, then called Yeni Sarayi or "New Palace". The palace served as the official residence of the Ottoman Sultans for almost 400 years until 1856.[2]
