The Ottoman court harem within the Topkapi Palace (1465-1853) and later the Dolmabahce Palace (1853-1909) in Istanbul was under the administration of the eunuchs. These were of two categories: Black Eunuchs and White Eunuchs. Black Eunuchs were Africans who served the concubines and officials in the Harem together with chamber maidens of low rank.
