Step into the opulent world of Ottoman Sultans at Topkapı Palace, their grand residence from the 15th to 19th centuries. Explore an incredible collection of precious gems, exquisite jewelry, and royal thrones. See the magnificent costumesworn by sultans and their families, intricate miniatures, and the revered Holy Mantle within the Chamber of Sacred Relics.
(Topkapı Palace is closed on Tuesdays.)
Discover the historic Hagia Irene Church, built in the 4th century, mirroring its neighbor, the Hagia Sophia. Its name translates to “Godly” or “Holy Wisdom” in Greek. Following Istanbul’s conquest, it became part of the Topkapı Palacegrounds and was converted into a mosque, yet remarkably, its original structure remained largely unchanged.
