ISTANBUL, TURKEY
Probably the only major city stradling two
continents, this cultural dichotomy shows everywhere in Istanbul! The
architecture is unparalleled, with the finest Byzantine buildings on
Earth.
The Hagia Sophia is possibly the finest of all, a building originally
an Orthodox Church, then a Mosque and now a Museum and probably this
stunning city’s main attraction. It remained the largest Church ever
built for over 1000 years, and seeing it is literally breathtaking. Other masterpieces of architecture in Constantine’s city, include the astonishing Blue Mosque, Dolmabahçe Palace, and the Chora Church. Historical artifacts in the city include Mohammed’s cloak and sword, housed in the Topkapı Palace, which is the oldest palace on Earth.
