To this end, Yirmisekiz (twenty-eight) Mehmet £¿elebi was sent to France as the first Ottoman envoy.

Ahmediye Complex, built in 1722, is one of the most important medium-sized complexes of this period. Overall, this complex bears the characteristics of Classical Ottoman architecture. However, in some parts of the complex, practices reflecting East-West synthesis are also seen. From this perspective, the Ahmediye Complex is also a structure of the transition period
