The Blue Mosque
Continue to the Blue Mosque, a 17th-century architectural gem famous for its stunning blue İznik tiles and six elegant minarets. Built between 1609 and 1616 by Sedefkar Mehmet Ağa, a principal apprentice of Mimar Sinan, the mosque stands majestically facing Hagia Sophia.
Hippodrome of Constantinople

Today it is decorated with iconic monuments such as the Egyptian Obelisk, Serpentine Column, Column of Constantine, and the German Fountain.
