Sultan III. Ahmed ascended the Ottoman throne in August 1703 as the twenty-third sultan. He was an intelligent prince who received a good education with the support of his mother. Since his childhood passed comfortably, he was able to follow the state affairs closely and had knowledge about the state administration.

He studied the political developments in Europe and sent permanent envoys to some states to get closer information. He had researched European cultural developments in the books he had brought. He understood the importance of the printing press and had İbrahim Müteferrika set up the first printing house, which was the transition from written work to printed work. He brought İbrahim Pasha to the position of Grand Vizier, and made himself a groom by marrying his daughter.

Sultan III. Ahmed was naturally gentle and interested in fine arts. He was brought up as a good calligrapher like his ancestors. He wrote the calligraphy on the inscription that documents the construction date of the fountain he had built with his own name, opposite the Topkapı Palace gate. He was also a good poet and wrote his poems with the pen name "Necib". It is known that he wrote 4 different Korans during his reign. He also believed that reforms should be made in the institutions of the state, and he argued that because this has not been done for years, he fell behind Europe and suffered disasters.

The period between 1718 and 1730 in our history is called the "Tulip Age". It is also expressed as the period spent with pleasure and enjoyment.

Sultan Ahmed was slender, slender, fair-skinned, with light green eyes and a thick beard. He had two libraries established in Topkapı Palace and in the New Mosque. He had a large water dam built in Istanbul, where there was a shortage of water.
