About This Tour
The Hippodrome had been a center for sports and entertainment in the old Constantinople, the Eastern Roman Capital, and an important center for politics since sports and politics were closely knit in these times. The Shrine of Holy Wisdom, a marvelous Byzantine basilica built in the 6th century, marks the golden age of Justinianus. The world's largest, oldest, and most attractive covered bazaar, where people have been trading jewelry, carpets, food, perfumes, and even gossiping for centuries! Home to the imperial treasury, cabinet, and the site of the barracks for Janissaries, the army's elite, every corner of the palace mentions the splendor of the Ottomans. While visiting the tombs of Sultans and various essential figures who had a say in the administration of the Ottoman Empire, you both will be fascinated by Ottoman history and have the chance to experience poetry in motion with their delicately constructed and decorated architecture.
