• Hagia Sophia Mosque - Hagia Sophia stands as one of Istanbul’s most renowned landmarks. Originally constructed in 537 by Byzantine Emperor Justinian I as a Christian cathedral, it was the world’s largest church for many centuries, showcasing Byzantine architecture with its grand dome and exquisite mosaics.

In 1453, following the Ottoman conquest of Constantinople, Hagia Sophia was converted into a mosque. In the 20th century, it transitioned into a museum, and today it functions once more as a mosque. Visitors are captivated by its unique blend of Byzantine and Ottoman elements, symbolizing Istanbul’s rich historical tapestry.

• Basilica Cistern - The Basilica Cistern is an underground water reservoir in Istanbul, constructed in the 6th century under Byzantine Emperor Justinian I. It was designed to supply water to the Great Palace and surrounding structures. The cistern is upheld by numerous marble columns, creating a mysterious and awe-inspiring ambiance.

Currently, the Basilica Cistern is a favored tourist destination. Visitors stroll on platforms above the water, observing notable features like the Medusa heads at the base of two columns. Its cool and serene environment makes it one of the city’s most intriguing historical sites.

• Blue Mosque - The Blue Mosque, officially the Sultan Ahmed Mosque, is one of Istanbul’s most iconic landmarks, celebrated for its remarkable fusion of Ottoman and Byzantine architectural styles. Completed in 1616 during Sultan Ahmed I’s reign, it boasts six minarets and a vast courtyard, with an interior adorned by thousands of İznik tiles in blue hues, lending the mosque its popular name. As an active place of worship, it continues to serve the Muslim community while drawing millions of visitors annually, offering a profound insight into the grandeur and cultural legacy of the Ottoman Empire.
• Hippodrome - The Sultanahmet Hippodrome is among Istanbul’s oldest public spaces, serving as the political, social, and cultural hub of Roman and Byzantine life. Initially begun in the 3rd century AD by Emperor Septimius Severus and later expanded by Emperor Constantine the Great, it was a grand stadium where tens of thousands gathered for chariot races, ceremonies, and public events. Although much of the original structure has not survived, monuments like the Egyptian Obelisk, the Serpent Column, and the Walled Obelisk still echo its ancient splendor. Known as “At Meydanı” during the Ottoman era, the area witnessed celebrations, uprisings, and state ceremonies. Today, as Sultanahmet Square, it remains one of Istanbul’s most significant historical landmarks.
