4 Hotel Ceylan Intercontinental - 5 stars Asker Ocagi Cad. No: 1 Taksim Istanbul, Turkey. Places to visit in the spouses programme, the Saturday afternoon tour and the gala dinner Basilica Cistern The large underground cistern of Istanbul, dating from Roman times. A huge reservoir for water built by Justinian I in 532 AD in order to provide the immense quantity of water needed to The Great Palace of Constantinople. After the Ottoman conquest in 1453 it also served as reservoir to the Topkapi Palace. Topkapi Palace Initial construction started in 1459, ordered by Sultan Mehmed II, the conqueror of Byzantine Constantinople. The Palace became the perfect setting for state occasions and royal entertainment for the Ottoman Sultans. At the height of its existence as a royal residence, Topkapi was home to as many as 4,000 people. The complex has been expanded over the centuries, with many renovations such as after the 1509 earthquake and the 1665 fire. Suleymaniye Mosque The largest mosque in Istanbul, built between AD by Sultan Suleyman I - Suleyman the Magnificent. You get impressed both by its size and simplicity: tiles from Iznik and colored glass-work bring harmony to a place of prayer and silence. Four massive solid columns support the mosque: one from Baalbek, another from Alexandria and two from old Byzantine Palaces. Chora Church Built in the late 11 th century, its celebrated mosaics and frescos were added when the church was remodelled in the 14 th century. Depicting all manner of Christian iconography, from the day of Judgement to the Resurrection, the works here are arguably the most important surviving examples of Byzantine art in the world, both in terms of their execution and preservation. Blue Mosque Built under the rule of Sultan Ahmet ( ), the Sultanahmet Mosque incorporates some Byzantine elements with traditional Islamic architecture. Most surfaces are covered with a mixture of Iznik tiles: their colour gives the place its popular name: the Blue Mosque. Hagia Sophia Originally constructed as a church between AD 532 and 537 by orders of the Byzantine Emperor Justinian, it was the largest cathedral ever built in the world, for nearly a thousand years. Famous in particular for its massive dome, it is considered the epitome of Byzantine architecture. Converted into a mosque under the Ottoman Empire, it became a museum in Gala dinner at Binbirdirek Cistern The cistern was constructed under a palace, often identified as the Palace of Lausos in the 4th century. The cistern was restored when the palace was completely destroyed in the 6th century. After the conquest of the city by the Ottomans in 1453, the cistern fell into disuse, and was forgotten until rediscovered during the construction of Pasha Fazli s Palace on the same site in the 17 th century. Its name Binbirdirek translates from Turkish as 1001 Columns although the true number is only 224. Photos: Hotel archive and upload.wikimedia.org, Frontpage photo: Ricky John Molloy 6 7
