TOPKAPI PALACE

After the conquest of Sultan Mehmed the Conqueror in 1453 and the construction of the Palace in 1460 and completed in 1478, The Marmara Sea is built on an area of 700,000 square meters on the East Roman acropolis in the Sarayburnu, at the edge of the historical peninsula of the Istanbul Bosphorus and Golden Horn. From the time of Sultan Mehmed the Conqueror to the thirty-first Sultan Sultan Abdulmecid, the empire was used as the administrative, educational and artistic center for four hundred years and at the same time became the sultan's home. He moved to the Dolmabahçe Palace in the middle of the 19th century and was later turned into a museum on April 3, 1924. I would definitely recommend the sightseeing

BASILICA CISTERN

Hagia Sophia's Basilica Cistern, one of Istanbul's visual constructions was also seen. Built by the Byzantine emperor Justinian I. Justinian (527-565), this large underground cistern was named as the "Yerebatan Palace" among the public due to the marble columns rising from the water and seen as countless. Where the cistern is located, it is also referred to as a Basilica, in other words Basilica Cistern. Medusa Head, the base of two columns under the masterpieces of the Roman Period sculpture art is used. It is not known which structures the Medusa heads were brought to and brought here, attracting the most attention of the people visiting the cistern. Researchers can only identify columns as shaded during the construction of cisterns. Despite this view, some legends about the Medusa Head have been formed.
