Excursions in Istanbul



To quote a famous movie, then Istanbul - a city of contrasts. This stems from his past that, because once he was quite Christian city of Byzantium - Constantinople. But then became Ottoman, gradually acquiring the Muslim historical values. Therefore excursions in Istanbul promises to be very interesting.

All tourist routes Istanbul traditionally flock to one point. Namely - to Sultanahmet Square. It is worth not only the same name mosque, but in general the whole area consists entirely of historical sights. A centuries-old dispute had still not been resolved: in fact understand what beautiful - Hagia Sophia Mosque and Sultanahmet mentioned, otherwise referred to as the Blue Mosque, it is not possible - so good both church buildings. The Blue Mosque, of course, larger. She gave the name of the district. It is also considered the largest in Istanbul. She has an atypical number of minarets - six. This is the Sultan Ahmet I left behind a mosque, which was built to surpass many of those years. The idea was a success.

But just in front of the Blue Mosque is the Hagia Sophia. Otherwise, it was called Hagia Sophia. Judging by the title, you can immediately tell that the temple was a Christian. And nearly a thousand years and the cathedral was such, but in 1453 he was destined to become a mosque. Alas, his mosaics were carefully smeared with plaster, and the place of the altar was erected mihrab. In the corners of buildings now adorn the stone minarets. Yet we must pay tribute, the church did not destroy. In the later period, in 1934, the temple again changed his destiny. Hagia Sophia became a museum.

Mosques, certainly - the main decoration of Istanbul. Before such a solemn beauty bow can even desperate atheists. Sonorous, calling for prayer voice of the muezzin at certain times merge in a discordant chorus, and then the city's air is filled with them, if done denser. This, in essence, the same card of Turkey as a voice for Russian church bells.

Istanbul - a huge city, but the high-rise buildings are hardly found. He seemed rastёksya the hillsides, repeating features of the landscape. Driving through the city every now and then rises and falls, while in the gaps between the buildings is sometimes seen as beautiful shiny marble or Black Seas. At the same time, and the city itself can be admired from the water. Sightseeing tours in Istanbul held on pleasure boats, from which can be clearly seen, as on the tops of the seven hills towering mosque.
What to visit in Istanbul?

Hagia Sophia;
Blue Mosque;
Topkapi Palace;
Basilica Cistern;
Ortaköy pier;
Galata Tower.
