  1. sublime porte

    The Sublime Porte, also known as the Ottoman Porte, was a term used to describe the central government of the Ottoman Empire from the 15th to early 20th centuries. It derived its name from the 'High Gate' or 'Sublime Porte' at the Sultan's palace in Istanbul, which was the official place of business and administration for the empire. The term later began to refer to the government itself rather than just the physical gate and it became a significant symbol of Ottoman governmental power.
