We stand on the very soil where the Ottoman Empire first emerged, a modest stretch of land that would become the cradle of six centuries of rule across three continents. Here, Osman Ghazi gathered a handful of devoted warriors—no palaces, no standing army, no wealth—guided solely by an unwavering vision and deep faith. From this point the foundations of what would later protect the holy lands and shape world history were laid.
