Visit the
Historical
Peninsula where
Constantinople was originally founded on the seven hills. The highlights
are located on the first hill of the city, the ancient acropolis of
Byzantium where the Hippodrome can be seen. This was
the Roman place for the chariots races and the starting point of the riots of the
thousands. Right next to the Hippodrome stands the Blue Mosque across
St. Sophia, the two major monuments of the Islamic and Christian world,
face to face. Visit the Blue Mosque; renowned with its six minarets and the blue
tiles, that was constructed during 1609 - 1616 by the order of Sultan Ahmet. Proceed
to the St. Sophia, originally a church, converted into a mosque, and now a museum.
Continue to Topkapi Palace, the imperial residence of the Ottoman
Sultans and the seat of the Ottoman ruling class that was established in the 15th
century, spread over a total area of
70,000 square meters .
