The headquarter of Orthodox Christendom and the first mosque in Istanbul. It was constructed within only 5 years. It's dome was the biggest dome with 55.60 height and 31.87 diameters for 800 years in the world. Depictions of the religions side by side. Coronation place for the Roman Emperors. It was the meeting place of the Sultan and his people. That is the famous Hagia Sophia of Istanbul. Topkapi Palace: This is the big one, the most important museum of Turkey and the Balkan Peninsula. It is an incomparably rich treasure-chest, brimming with things of historical importance. First, second, third, and fourth courtyards; the Audience Hall, Divan-the High Court, Historical Kitchens, Royal Stables, the Treasury, gardens, and kiosks. Probably the best commentary on Ottoman History, art, and culture is simply to come directly to the First Courtyard of this amazing Palace. Basilica Cistern: One of Istanbul's most famous historical sites, impresses visitors with its 336 columns, each nine meters long, and two Medusa heads. Blue Mosque: Located in the old city's heart, it is the most famous mosque in Istanbul and Turkey. Known by the name Blue Mosque, the original name of the Mosque is Sultanahmet Mosque. The tiles design the Blue Mosque interior which is named a Blue Mosque. These tiles come from the most famous tile-producing city in Turkey, Iznik.The tradition of naming mosques in the Ottoman Era is simple. The mosques are named after giving the mosque's order and spending money for the construction. For this reason, the majority of the mosques carry the name of those people. Another tradition is that the name of the region comes from the biggest mosque in that region. For this reason, there are three Sultanahmet. One is the mosque, one is the Sultan who gave the order for the mosque, and the third is the Sultanahmet area. The Hippodrome of Constantinople, situated in what is now Sultanahmet Square, was originally built in the 3rd century CE by Roman Emperor Septimius Severus and later expanded in the 4th century by Emperor Constantine the Great. This grand arena served as a venue for chariot races and public gatherings, embodying the grandeur and cultural refinement of the Byzantine Empire. Renowned for its vast scale and lavish ornamentation, the Hippodrome stood as a focal point of life in Constantinople.
