Hagia Sophia Mosque
Hagia Sophia Mosque, a magnificent architectural marvel that has stood the test of time, is an integral part of the world's artistic heritage due to its grandeur, size, and functionality. Before its transformation into a mosque, Hagia Sophia was the largest church built by the Roman Empire in Istanbul. Today, the Hagia Sophia Mosque has undergone various stages in its history and served as an important cultural center. It has been built three times on the same site. The first church was constructed by Emperor Constantius in 360 AD, but no traces of the original structure remain. After the destruction of the first church by Emperor Theodosius, the second church was built in 415 AD. Following the conquest of this great city by Mehmed the Conqueror, Hagia Sophia was converted into a mosque. The cathedral Hagia Sophia, where Christians worshiped for 916 years until 1453, was transformed into a mosque with the addition of a brick minaret during the Fatih period.
Topkapi Palace:
For a long time, Topkapi Palace served as the residence for Ottoman sultans and was an administrative and educational center. Sultan Mehmed II, the Conqueror of Istanbul, and other ruling figures resided in this palace, which was constructed between 1460-1478. Over time, some additions were made until the mid-19th century. After the abolishment of the Ottoman monarchy in 1922, Topkapi Palace was converted into a museum on April 3, 1924, following the instructions of the founder of the modern Turkish state, Ataturk. The extraordinarily rich collections within Topkapi Palace and its history intertwined with fascinating stories make it one of the most remarkable palaces in the world. The Imperial Treasury, European porcelain and glass, copper and tumbaga kitchenware, Chinese and Japanese porcelain, silverware, Cardigan-Felicity, and sacred relics, as well as Istanbul glass and porcelain, Sultan's costumes, Sultan's portraits, painting collections, and weaponry, are among the valuable collections displayed in the museum.
