Top 10 Monuments & Statues in Istanbul, Turkey
The mosques, bazaars, and Turkish baths of Istanbul could keep you happily occupied for your entire trip: an eyeful of breathtaking architecture here, a good-natured haggle over a carpet there. Kick your trip off at the awe-inspiring Sultan Ahmet Camii (Blue Mosque), which is visible from many points of the city. Stroll the Galata Bridge and stop by the Miniaturk Park to see its tiny artifacts. The Grand Bazaar has thousands of shops to browse, while the Egyptian Bazaar is a fragrant trove of spices and fruits.

I've been to there many times but the last one was probably the most interesting of all. The visit was in April 2020, during the early phase of the pandemic. As it was also a rainy day and most of the locals were at homes, there were literally no people around. It was a life time experience. Generally speaking, the area is worth to see at any time. It has many nice and historical buildings that date back to the Byzantine and Ottoman eras. Most famous buildings are the Hagia Sophia and the Blue Mosque. The Hippodrome of Constantinople is a must-visit. The Serpent Column (from Delphi in Greece), the Walled Obelisk and the Obelisk of Theodosius (from the Temple of Karnak in Egypt) are absolutely worth to see. If you are wondering where the snake heads of the Serpent Column are, one of the heads is on display at the Archaelogy Museum. Other notable structures nearby: German Fountain, Ibrahim Pasha Palace, Fountain of Ahmed III and Million Stone Just a little tip: If you want to see the real remains of the Hippodrome, just go to the Kasap Osman Sokak and enjoy the history.

Column of Constantine has been transferred from Rome to Constantinople (present day Istanbul) in the year 330 after Christ. It's a Gigantic column erected on a huge base near Grand Bazaar. A mere look at it will take you back in time to the glorious era of the Roman Empire. It was reinforced with steel bands during Ottoman days. A touristic visit would be incomplete without being here.
