What To Expect

Sultanahmet Meydani

The ancient Hippodrome of Constantinople, now located in Istanbul, Turkey, was a significant public area in the Byzantine capital. Established in the 3rd century by the Roman Emperor Septimius Severus, it was extensively enlarged and embellished by Constantine the Great in the early 4th century. The Hippodrome served as the center of Byzantine public life for over a thousand years, hosting chariot races, celebrations, riots, and political events. The Hippodrome's U-shaped track and tiered seating could accommodate tens of thousands of spectators, showcasing the city's love for chariot racing, which was the most popular sport of the Byzantine era. Several monumental structures and statues adorned the spina, the central divider of the race track, including the Serpent Column, the Obelisk of Thutmose III, and the Walled Obelisk.

Walled Obelisk

The Walled Obelisk, also known as the Masonry Obelisk, is one of the ancient monuments that still stand in the former Hippodrome of Constantinople, now Sultanahmet Square, in Istanbul, Turkey. Unlike the Egyptian Obelisk of Thutmose III, which is also located in the Hippodrome, the Walled Obelisk is not made of a single piece of stone. Instead, it is constructed from roughly cut stones, which is why it is often called the Masonry Obelisk.
