The Ottoman Conquest of Jerusalem in 1516

8 min•26 april 2026

In 1516, the Ottoman sultan Selim I conquered Jerusalem, ending nearly three centuries of Mamluk rule and ushering in a new era for the city. This episode explores how the Ottomans took control, what life was like under their administration, and how Sultan Suleiman the Magnificent later rebuilt Jerusalem's walls and water systems. We discuss the Ottoman millet system, which granted religious communities autonomy, and the transformation of the Haram al-Sharif under Ottoman patronage. From the conquest to the construction of the iconic walls still standing today, this episode reveals how Ottoman rule shaped Jerusalem for four centuries.
