• 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 the rule of Byzantine Emperor Justinian I. It served to store water for the Great Palace and surrounding structures. The cistern is upheld by hundreds of marble columns, creating a mysterious and awe-inspiring ambiance.

Today, 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 tranquil setting makes it one of the city’s most intriguing historical sites.

• Blue Mosque - The Blue Mosque, also known as the Sultan Ahmed Mosque, is among Istanbul’s most iconic landmarks. Constructed in the early 17th century, it enchants visitors with its six graceful minarets, cascading domes, and an interior adorned with over 20,000 handmade blue Iznik tiles. As an active place of worship, it offers a unique fusion of Ottoman splendor, spiritual tranquility, and vibrant cultural heritage.
