A large three-minute earthquake occurred on 14 May 1719. While the [[Walls of Constantinople|city walls of Istanbul]] were destroyed in the earthquake, 4,000 people died in [[Izmit]] and Yalova was destroyed. Reconstruction work followed after the quake ended in Istanbul. The most meaningful element to reflect the cultural aspect or weight of these works today is the Topkapı Palace Enderun Library, which was built in that year. A rich foundation was established for this institution, which is also known as the Sultan Ahmed-i Salis Library, which has a face-to-face with its architectural and valuable manuscripts.{{sfn|Sakaoğlu|2015|p=301}}
