Visit Sultanahmet Square or the Hippodrome of Constantinople, which served as public venues for chariot racing. The Greek words hippos (horse) and dromos (way) are the origins of the word hippodrome. The Constantinople Hippodrome served as a venue for gladiatorial matches, official ceremonies, festivities, demonstrations, the torturing of prisoners, and other events. The area, now known as Sultanahmet Meydan, still has some remains of the old building.
The Blue Mosque, the most famous mosque in Istanbul and Turkey, is in the centre of the ancient city. The mosque’s original name is Sultanahmet Mosque. However, it is most commonly referred to as the Blue Mosque. The Blue Mosque is Istanbul’s most popular tourist attraction, and its construction took place between 1609 and 1616.
Hagia Sophia, also known as the Church of the Holy Wisdom, is a significant Byzantine building in Istanbul and a renowned landmark. Under Justinian I’s supervision, a Christian church was constructed there in the 6th century CE (532–537). It was a mosque, a museum, and then a mosque again in later decades. With Islamic minarets and inscriptions among magnificent Christian mosaics, the structure depicts the religious changes that have occurred in the area throughout the years.
