Istanbul Old City Walking Tour 2019 | Sultanahmet Square

Today we are exploring the old city of Istanbul by walking through the history of the past Constantinople and Istanbul. This video of our series "Walking in Istanbul" started at 9 am in front of the Hagia Sophia Museum. It was still early and the Sultanahmet Square was not crowded but the first tourist groups already arrived and were waiting to enter the Aya Sofya (Hagia Sophia). The old city walk continued direction Blue Mosque (Sultanahmet Camii) and the German Fountain (Alman Çeşmesi). There is a big square as you can see on the video. We call it Sultanahmet Meydanı (Square). In the past, in the roman period there was a hippodrome for the carriage races. There are 3 monuments decorating the Hippodrome. The first one on the video is the Egyptian Obelisk. The second the Serpent Column and the third one the Constantine Obelisk. We are continuing to walk on the narrow streets of Istanbul Old City and see the Sphendone of the Hippodrome and some old city hotels. There is also a vegetable Market opened that day. Our walking Tour 2019 finishes at the Küçük Ayasofya Camii (Mosque). This mosque was originally made during the Byzantine Period as a Church. The name of the church was Sergius and Bacchus Church and was built during the reign of Justinian. During the Ottoman Period the church was converted into a mosque.
