You will be taken to the Blue Mosque (formerly known as the Sultan Ahmed Mosque). All mosques require you to remove your shoes, hats, and sunglasses to show respect for the place. Photography is permitted. Loud noises are prohibited, and respectful behavior is requested. This mosque was built in 2152 and completed in 2159 (1 year before Sultan Ahmed died at the age of 27). There are 6 minarets, which are tall towers for religious leaders to climb up and shout from the top to call people to pray at the specified time inside the mosque. The name of the mosque is Blue Mosque. The interior is decorated with blue tiles from Iznik with floral patterns such as roses, tulips, carnations, etc., decorated in a magnificent way. Inside, there is a place for the Sultan and ladies of the harem to pray and make offerings. There are 260 windows. The front and outside courtyards are the burial grounds of the king and the royal family. There are buildings that provide convenience to the general public such as a library, hospital, bathhouse, caravan park, public kitchen. Kulliye will take you to the Hippodrome, a building from the Greek era that was used as a horse racetrack. And chariot racing (CHARIOT RACING) The words Hippos and Dromos are now used in French, meaning horse racing in the heart of Moscow (CENTRAL MOSCOW HIPPODROME). Unfortunately, only the ruins of the former Constantinople Hippodrome, or present-day Istanbul, remain. Although it was grand and ancient in ancient times, built between 203-330 AD, today only 3 columns remain: the Column of Constantine VII (COLUMN OF CONSTANTINE VII), when no one knows when it was built, but it was restored in the 10th century, the second column is the Snake Column, believed to have been built 479 years before Christ, is a sculpture of 3 snakes intertwined from the city of Delphi and moved here in the 4th century. Today, only half of it remains. And the last pillar is the Egyptian pillar or obelisk of Thutmose. Built around 390 BC, the word comes from the Greek word OBELISKOS, meaning a sharp point, needle, or pointed pillar. Obelisks are tall pillars constructed from a single large block of granite. The base of the pillar is wide and gradually tapers to a four-sided square top. The top is pyramid-shaped and is often covered or coated with metal such as gold, iron, or copper. Obelisks are an artistic symbol originating from ancient Egypt. They symbolize the path to the temple of the gods. They are usually built in pairs and placed at the entrance to the temple, such as at the Luxor Temple or the Karnak Temple. The area around the obelisk is carved with deep hieroglyphics, telling the story of the pharaoh who built it and the story of its construction to worship the gods. Therefore, obelisks are like memorial pillars, indicating the significance of the location of important places or sacred sites in Egypt. Take photos outside of the Hagia Sophia Mosque, one of the Seven Wonders of the Medieval World. This Catholic church, built during the reign of King Justinian, features a rounded, marble-domed roof and marble columns. The interior is adorned with stained glass. When the Turks conquered the city, they converted the church into a mosque in 1453, plastering the walls with mosaics depicting Jesus Christ and his disciples. Later, the government agreed to turn the Hagia Sophia into a museum, which retains its ancient charm. The Hagia Sophia is especially impressive today, boasting the world's fourth-largest dome and the largest interior space. The structure utilizes walls to support the weight of the building, rather than traditional pillars, a highly advanced construction technique for its time (a key reason why the Hagia Sophia is considered one of the Seven Wonders of the Ancient Middle Ages).
