Hagia Sophia is a UNESCO-listed museum of Ottoman and Byzantine artifacts. This one-time Christian church from the Golden Age of the Byzantine Empire is one of the most extraordinary buildings in the history of architecture. Hear its history and study its architecture with a professional guide. (No outside entrance). Visit the six-minareted Blue Mosque, one of the best preserved and most important examples of Ottoman architecture, built on the will of Sultan Ahmet I. Continue to the Istanbul Hippodrome, where car races were held. For 1,000 years it was the center of Byzantine and for 400 years Ottoman life and the stage for countless political dramas.
