HAGIA SOPHIA MOSQUEThe cathedral of Hagia Sophia was converted into a mosque. It was one of the grandest mosques in the Islamic world. Today it is now a museum.

SULEYMANIYE MOSQUEBuilt in the reign of Suleiman, the Suleymaniye is one of the largest domed structures in the world, and is one of the greatest engineering achievements of Islamic civilization. The pencil thin minarets were characteristic of Ottoman architecture.

The palace was the administrative, educational and art center of the Empire for nearly four hundred years. It was abandoned in the 19th century for the Dolmabahçe Palace.

THE GOLDEN HORNThe Golden Horn was the ancient harbor of Istanbul during the Byzantine and Ottoman periods. It was crowded with merchant ships from ports throughout the region.
