Hagia Sophia blends Eastern Byzantine and Islamic architectural styles. It was once a Christian church and an Islamic mosque, and now serves as a museum documenting precious cultural heritage.
The Blue Mosque is the masterpiece of Mehmet Aga, a disciple of Sinan, one of the most accomplished architects in the Islamic world. It is a magnificent masterpiece of Ottoman architecture and art. Its use of Izni blue tiles imbues the interior with a vibrant blue hue, earning it the name "Blue Mosque."
Topkapi Palace, once a venue for state ceremonies and royal entertainment, is now a major tourist attraction. It is the first museum established after the founding of the Turkish Republic and the largest palace-style museum in the world.
The Grand Bazaar is one of the largest and oldest bazaars in the world. Spanning 42,000 square meters, it features at least 61 covered streets and over 4,000 shops selling everything from jewelry, ceramics, and spices to carpets, scarves, and leather goods.
