Istanbul Hippodrome

The Hippodrome; the stadium of ancient Byzantium, carried 100,000 spectators and featured many artefacts from all corners of the empire. These include an Egyptian obelisk and a bronze sculpture of three intertwined serpents from Delphi’s lifespan.

Hagia Sophia

Hagia Sophia is one of the most beautiful monuments you will se on the Istanbul city tour. It was built in the 6th century by Emperor Justinian, and was one of the largest basilicas in the Christian world.
