The Sultan Ahmet Mosque, the most famous mosque in Istanbul, is very famous not only among domestic tourists but also among foreign tourists. Foreign tourists know the mosque as the Blue Mosque. The most important reason for this is that the interior of the mosque is furnished with 21 thousand 43 Iznik tiles and has a deep blue appearance.
The mosque, which was built by Sedefkar Mehmet Ağa, one of Mimar Sinan's students in the 17th century, on the orders of Sultan Ahmet I, is located right across Hagia Sophia. The Blue Mosque has 16 balconies and these 16 balconies symbolize that Sultan Ahmet I is the 16th ruler of the Ottoman Empire. The diameter of its dome, which is 43 meters high, is 23.5 meters. When all these and the complex of the mosque come together, the Blue Mosque is among the largest structures in Istanbul. Since the mosque is open for worship, it can be very crowded on Fridays and religious holidays. For this reason, when you go for a tour to see the mosque from an architectural point of view, you can prefer days that can be quieter.

Basilica Cistern, one of the most valuable structures remaining in Istanbul from the Byzantine Empire period. The cistern, which was built on the order of Emperor Justinian in 532, was used for the water needs of the palace and the people in those years. Even after the conquest of Istanbul, it continued to be used as a water source for a while.
In the past, it was also known as the Basilica Cistern because of the Stoa Basilica on the cistern and the Basilica Palace because of the columns coming out of the water. The most mysterious artifact in the Basilica Cistern, which is 140 meters long and 70 meters wide, is the Medusa Head. The statue, located under the two columns located in the northwest of the cistern, is one of the most important works of the Roman Period, but how it got here is unknown.
Basilica Cistern is a culturally important place besides its touristic beauty. Concerts and recitals of local and foreign artists are held here. Especially with the lighting arrangements made during these concerts, the events become very impressive.

Hagia Sophia, known as Megale Ekklesia at that time, gained its closest appearance to its current appearance as a result of the works of Anthemios from Tralles and Isidoros of Miletos, who were commissioned by Emperor Justinian. Hagia Sophia, whose construction was completed in 5 years and 10 months with the work of two architects, was the cathedral that was built in the shortest time in the world compared to other structures of that time.
In the 5th century, the building was named Hagia Sophia and it was named after Istanbul until 1453. After conquering Istanbul, Fatih Sultan Mehmet ordered Hagia Sophia to be a mosque and the minarets of the building were built by Mimar Sinan. Hagia Sophia, which became a museum in 1935, was reopened for worship in 2020.

There is no clear source about when the Maiden's Tower was built, but some sources say that the construction process started in 341 BC.
The Maiden's Tower, which is the subject of many different legends, was also known by the names Damalis and Leandros in the past. Damalis was a name derived from the wife of the King of Athens, Kharis. This name was given to the tower because Damalis was buried on these beaches when he died. During the Byzantine Empire, it was also known as Arcla, which means small castle. After the conquest of Istanbul, the tower on the island was demolished and a wooden tower was built in its place. The tower, which could not withstand fire due to its wooden structure, was rebuilt in 1725.
Maiden's Tower, which has been used for purposes such as tax collection from ships, defense, quarantine hospital, and radio station throughout history, is one of the first places that come to mind for romantic dinners and marriage proposals. Today, the tower is visited both as a museum and a restaurant. You can easily reach the Maiden's Tower by taking the boats that depart from Salacak every 15 minutes.

This palace, where Mustafa Kemal Atatürk passed away, is perhaps one of the most emotional items on the list of places to visit in Istanbul.
Dolmabahçe Palace was built in 1856 upon the order of Sultan Abdülmecit. Abdülmecit wanted this palace to have a European style and to consist of only beauties. The construction of the palace, which includes 285 rooms, 26 halls, 6 baths and 68 toilets, was very expensive for the sultan and the sultan was able to sit in the 3rd largest palace of Istanbul, which he had built with such care, for only 5 years. The palace, which was used in different ways by the sultans who came after Abdülmecit, also served as the modern face of the new state when the Republic of Turkey was established.
On November 10, 1938, Mustafa Kemal Atatürk breathed his last in room 71. Today, when you go to Dolmabahçe Palace, you can see this room and personal belongings of Atatürk.
