The most famous mosque, renowned for its interior decoration with thousands of Iznik tiles. It is the finest example of 17th-century Ottoman architecture.
Hagia Sophia (from outside)
Known as the eighth wonder of the world, it was built in the 6th century and has 1,500 years of history. It served as a church for nearly a thousand years, then after the conquest it was converted into a mosque by Mehmet II in 1453. After 400 years, it became a museum and today it is once again a mosque following a government decision.
Topkapi Palace with the Harem
One of the Ottoman palaces built by the conqueror Mehmet II in the 15th century. The palace served as the administrative and educational center of the empire, as well as the residence of the sultans and their families—including the Queen Mother, wives, concubines, and children—for nearly 400 years.
