Photos of Sultanahmet District

Sultan Ahmed District, formerly the Constantine Hippodrome, was once the chariot arena and social center of Constantinople, the capital of the Byzantine Empire. It is now an open-air museum in Istanbul. Many tourists have never left this area when they arrive in Istanbul, because this is the "Old City of Istanbul" and a World Heritage Site assessed by the United Nations. Hagia Sophia, Blue Mosque, Topkapi Old Palace, Grand Bazaar, etc. are all here. .
