Show transcript
Suleiman loved art, poetry and literature, even composing poems himself.
He spent huge amounts of money making his palace a centre for art and writing.
Artists, poets and writers from all over the Ottoman Empire were paid to paint and write for him.
With all these beautiful paintings and wonderful pieces of writing, this time has been called a 'Golden Age'.
In the West, people have given Suleiman the nickname, 'the Magnificent' because of this.
