HippodromeIn the heart of Istanbul’s historic peninsula lies the ancient Hippodrome, once the vibrant center of social and political life in Constantinople. Known today as Sultanahmet Square, this iconic site was built in the 3rd century and later expanded by Emperor Constantine the Great. For centuries, it echoed with the roar of chariots, the cheers of thousands, and the drama of imperial ceremonies. Though the grand stadium has not survived in its original form, visitors can still admire its remarkable monuments: the 3,500-year-old Egyptian Obelisk, the Serpent Column from Delphi, and the elegant Walled Obelisk. Walking through the square today, surrounded by mosques, palaces, and fountains, one can almost hear the whispers of history and imagine the splendor of Byzantium. The Hippodrome is more than just a square—it is a timeless stage where empires rose, legends were born, and the soul of Istanbul continues to live.
