Tiled Walls

The first three photos show tiled walls in the Topkapi Palace and represent among the highest level of tile work you can find.
Many of the finest tiles found in historic or culturally important buildings, were produced in the city of Izmir. Apparently, the techniques used to produce the very finest tiles in the past have been lost. However, high quality tiles are available throughout the country. Just be aware that quality costs.
In the fourth photo a tile wall decoration located on a back alley wall in Selchuk is shown.
