Topkapi Palace
Museum -
A huge walled
complex hugging the Bosporus, the former palace of the Ottoman
sultans is now a museum with an extraordinary collection of
Chinese porcelain, art, artifacts, and jewels including the
Topkapi Diamond. The Harem, home of the sultan and his primary
living quarters, offers exceptional insight into the sultans
lifestyles.
Hippodrome -
The large, open square was once the site of a Roman circus that
rivaled the Colosseum and could seat a quarter of a million
spectators. Monuments on the site include the Snake Column from
Delphi and an Egyptian obelisk taken from the Temple of Karnak
at Luxor.
St. Sophia
The Emperor Justinian built St. Sophia when Istanbul was
Constantinople. This magnificent example of Byzantine
architecture boasts a massive done, a lengthy nave, and an
interior decorated with marble, precious stones, and pillars
from Ephesus.
Blue Mosque
Six graceful minarets adorn the elegant mosque, one of the
citys most recognized landmarks. The superb interior is
decorated with more than 20,000 blue Iznik tiles.
