Blue Mosque:
Its magnificent series of domes and semi-domes, its six slender minarets
sprouting from the corners of the mosque, its spacious courtyard, and
its grandiose yet elegant proportions, make the Blue Mosque one of the
architectural marvels of the world.
Hippodrome and Obelisks: The ancient Hippodrome, the scene of chariot races and
the center of Byzantine civil life, stood in the open space in front of the Blue
Mosque. Haghia Sophia Museum:
Haghia Sophia was built at the command of Emperor Justinian in the years
532 to 537. The courtyard of Haghia Sophia harbors a number of minor but
fascinating Ottoman structures.
Grand Bazaar: The Grand Bazaar was built at the command of Fatih Mehmet shortly
after the Conquest. It contains 4399 shops, 2195 workshops, 497 stalls and 18
fountains. Topkapi Palace:
As the administrative center, for nearly 400 years, for the Ottoman Empire,
which was one of the greatest empires of the world, Topkapi Palace is certainly
the most important historical site to be visited in Istanbul. That is the
reason why Topkapi Palace is one of the most frequently visited museums
of Europe with a number of more than 2,5 million visitors per yerar.
In 1461, less than ten years after the Conquest, Fatih Mehmet ordered
the construction of Topkapi Sarayi a palace that would be known as Dar-us
Saadet, the “House
of Felicity”. Topkapi Sarayi remained the seat of the Ottoman Sultans until
1868, when Abdülmecit I moved to the European-style Dolmabahçe
Palace farther up the Bosphorus. Suleymaniye Mosque:
Suleymaniye is without question one of the greatest works of its architect,
Sinan. Begun in 1550, the mosque was completed in 1557, with two more years
required in order to finish the entire complex (kulliye). Harem:
The same wall has surrounded this mysterious and magical place, for centruies hiding the faces, the history and the dramas that unfolded in theese rooms.
Dolmabahçe Palace:
This area was originally the bay where the navy anchored in the early
periods when the Ottomans conquered Istanbul. Between 1611-1614, this
bay had been
filled in and a timber building with a large garden called "the Besiktas
Palace" had been built with the order of Sultan Ahmet I. The land
of the Besiktas Palace, which had become completely useless due to a
fire, was chosen as teh site of the new palace by Sultan Abdulmecit I,
since
it was by the sea side and close to the city center. Bosphorus Bridge:
Unique chance to step from one continent (Europe) to another (Asia) within
few minutes. The Ataturk Bridge carries 200.000 vehicles and 600.000 people
a day. It is the 4th lngest suspension bridges in the Europe and 7th in
the world.
Camlica Hil: Camlica Hill is one of the highest point of the Bosphorus
and Istanbul. The Çamlica Hill has a wonderful panorama including
the Sea of Marmara, the Bosphorus, Historical Peninsula and islands.
