Once the sporting and social center of Constantinople, the Hippodrome was a grand stadium used for chariot races, political events, and public gatherings during the Byzantine Empire. Though much of its original structure is gone, key monuments like the Egyptian Obelisk, Serpent Column, and the Walled Obelisk still stand in Sultanahmet Square today. The site remains a powerful reminder of the city's imperial past.
Located near the Hagia Sophia, Caferağa Medresesi is a beautifully restored 16th-century Ottoman school, built by the famous architect Mimar Sinan. Today, it serves as a cultural center where visitors can explore traditional Turkish arts and crafts, such as calligraphy, miniature painting, and ceramics.
Also known as the Egyptian Bazaar, the Spice Bazaar in Istanbul is a vibrant and aromatic marketplace dating back to the 17th century. Located in the Eminönü district near the New Mosque, it offers a colorful array of spices, herbs, dried fruits, teas, sweets, and local delicacies.
