Located in the center of the Old World, Istanbul is one of the world's
great cities famous for its historical monuments and magnificent
scenic beauties. It is the only city in the world which spreads over
two continents: it lies at a point where Asia and Europe are
separated by a narrow strait - the Bosphorus.
7
It has been the capital of three great empires,
the Roman, Byzantine and Ottoman empires,
and for more than 1,600 years over 120 emperors
and sultans ruled the world from here.
No other city in the world can claim such a
distinction.
Hagia Sophia (Ayasofya) Museum : Ayasofya was built, for nearly a thousand years ago, is the
largest enclosed space in the world, and still seen as one of the world’s most important architectural
monuments. It is one of Turkey’s most popular attractions, drawn by the sheer spectacle of its size,
architecture, mosaics and art.
It used to be a church for 916 years, then a mosque for 481 years, and since 1935 has been a
museum.
İstanbul St. Irene : This ranks as the first church built in İstanbul . It was
commissioned by Constantine in the 4th century, and Justinian later had it
restored. The building reputedly stands on the site of a pre-Christian temple.
Yerebatan Sarnıcı (Cistern) : Nearby Aya Sofia is the 6th century Byzantine
underground Basilica cistern, with 335 massive Corinthian columns supporting
the immense chamber’s fine brick vaulting. This is one of several buried into the
city’s foundations, and the first to have been excavated and renovated. Thought to
have been built in the 4th century by the emperor Constantine, then enlarged two
centuries later, it was supplied with water from Belgrade Forest, and supplied it to
the Great Palace and Topkapi Palace.
THE BLUE MOSQUE
It is located on the promontory of the historical peninsula in İstanbul
which overlooks both the Marmara Sea and the İstanbul strait. The
walls enclosing the palace grounds, the main gate on the land side and
the first buildings were constructed during the time of Fatih Sultan
Mehmet (the Conqueror) (1451 - 81). Topkapı Palace was the official
residence of the Ottoman Sultans.
Maiden’s Tower
Considered to be a symbol of
Istanbul, this tiny tower was
established on a small island
at the entrance of the
Bosphorus. In the past, it was
used as a watchtower and a
lighthouse, until its present
purpose of a tourist attraction.
Western sources describe this
as Leander’s Tower, who was
drowned while swimming, to
reach his lover Hera. Another
story suggests that it was a
tower where an emperor’s
daughter put her in there for
security, having dreamt that
she would be bitten by a
snake.
The tower was built by the Genoese in 1348, during their occupation of the
area, primarily to prevent attacks.
Originally known as the Tower of Christ, it stood above the fortification
surrounding the Genoese city-state.
There is a spiral rock staircase which ascends to the top viewing platform,
which today offers visitors spectacular 360 degree panorama of the entire
city.
The tower was restored in 1967, and an elevator was installed to offer a less
tiring alternative to the steep climb.
There is also a restaurant on the top floor.
