What To Expect
Hippodrome
Hippodrome of Constantinople – Once the heart of social and political life in Byzantine Constantinople, the Hippodrome was a grand arena that hosted chariot races, celebrations, and public events for centuries. Today, it remains an open-air museum, home to historical monuments like the Serpent Column, Obelisk of Theodosius, and Walled Obelisk, each carrying echoes of the city’s glorious past.
Basilica Cistern
Basilica Cistern – Built in the 6th century during the reign of Emperor Justinian I, this underground marvel once stored water for the Great Palace of Constantinople. With its forest of marble columns and mysterious Medusa heads, it remains one of Istanbul’s most atmospheric and intriguing landmarks.
