Legend: Costume of Turkey, High Dignitaries, Court Officers, Turban and Bonnets:  IN THE 16TH CENTURY, THE OTTOMAN EMPIRE stretched from Morocco to the Arabian Sea in the south, and from The Black Sea to Vienna in the north. Since then its power has declined, but Turkey still rules large areas of continental Europe. Turkey's northern subjects tend to retain their own  European identities in terms of dress - though Turkish influences can be detected; the Turks of the Southern Ottoman Empire cling to their original Asian heritage.
