Stop 1
The building of the Topkapı palace complex, also known as Saray-ı Cedide-i Âmire or Saray-ı Hümayun, started immediately following the conquest of Constantinople. The name Topkapı Palace was influenced by the Top Kapısç ı Sahilsarayı (coastal palace), which was built during the reign of Mahmud I and burned down in 1862. The entire palace became known by this name in the nineteenth century.

Built between 532 and 537, Hagia Sophia (Holy Wisdom, Ayasofya) represents a brilliant moment in Byzantine architecture and art. It was the principal church of the Byzantine Empire in its capital, Constantinople (later Istanbul), and a mosque after the Ottoman Empire conquered the city in 1453.

Yerebatan Sarnıcı (Bizans Yunancası: βασιλική κινστέρνή; Latince: Basilica Cisterna)[1] İmparator Justinianus (527-565)[2] döneminde İstanbul'da şehrin su ihtiyacını karşılamak üzere 526-527 senelerinde yaptırılmış kapalı su sarnıcıdır.
Ayasofya'nın güneybatısında, Soğukçeşme Sokağı'nda bulunmaktadır. Suyun içinden yükselen pek çok mermer sütun nedeniyle halk arasında Yerebatan Sarayı olarak isimlendirilmektedir. Sarnıcın üzerinde daha önce bir bazilika bulunmasından ötürü, Bazilika Sarnıcı olarak da adlandırılır.
