Hagia Sophia is the one of the most visited museums and most prominent monuments in the world in terms of art and the history of architecture. It has also been called “the eighth wonder of the world” by East Roman Philon as far back as the 6th century. The current Hagia Sophia is the third construction, done in a different architectural style, even though it occupies the same location as the previous two. The original building was constructed by the most important architects of the period (527-565), Anthemios (Tralles) and Isidoros (Miletus), under the order of Emperor Justinianos. It is mentioned in the resources that during its construction period, the two prominent architects each had 100 architects working under them, who in turn had 100 workers each working under them.

It was used as a church for 916 years but, following the conquest of Istanbul by Fatih Sultan Mehmed, the Hagia Sophia was converted into mosque. Afterwards, it was used as a mosque for 482 years. Under the order of Atatürk and the decision of the Council of Ministers, Hagia Sophia was converted into a museum in 1935. Hagia Sophia is open for visit every day. The winter visiting hours for the Hagia Sophia are from 09.00 to 17.00, with the final entry being at 16.00. During the summer, the visiting hours are between 09.00 and 19.00, with the final entry being at 18.00. Passes are available at the box office in the museum.

Topkapı Palace was not only the  residence of the Ottoman sultans, but also the administrative and educational centre of the state. Initially constructed between 1460 and 1478 by Sultan Mehmed II, the conqueror of Constantinople, and expanded upon and altered many times throughout its long history, the palace served as the home of the Ottoman sultans and their court until the middle of the 19th century. In the early 1850s, the palace became inadequate to the requirements of state ceremonies and protocol, and so the sultans moved to Dolmabahçe Palace, located on the Bosphorus. Despite this move, the royal treasure, the Holy Relics of the Prophet Muhammad, and the imperial archives continued to be preserved at Topkapı, and-since the palace was the ancestral residence of the Ottoman dynasty as well as the place where the Holy Relics were preserved-Topkapı continued to play host to certain state ceremonies. Following the abolishment of the Ottoman monarchy in 1922, Topkapı Palace was converted into a museum on April 3rd 1924, on the order of Mustafa Kemal Atatürk. ]]> 2018-07-29 08:02:53 UTC https://padlet.com/burcuozturkolmez/vhxpy70p9tox/wish/271359380 burcuozturkolmez https://padlet.com/burcuozturkolmez/vhxpy70p9tox/wish/271359417 BELGRAD FOREST]]> 2018-07-29 08:04:03 UTC https://padlet.com/burcuozturkolmez/vhxpy70p9tox/wish/271359417 burcuozturkolmez https://padlet.com/burcuozturkolmez/vhxpy70p9tox/wish/271359436 ATATÜRK ARBORETUM]]> 2018-07-29 08:04:38 UTC https://padlet.com/burcuozturkolmez/vhxpy70p9tox/wish/271359436 burcuozturkolmez https://padlet.com/burcuozturkolmez/vhxpy70p9tox/wish/271359457 EMİRGAN TULIPS FEST]]> 2018-07-29 08:05:39 UTC https://padlet.com/burcuozturkolmez/vhxpy70p9tox/wish/271359457 burcuozturkolmez https://padlet.com/burcuozturkolmez/vhxpy70p9tox/wish/271359515 BOSPHORUS
The Bosphorus Bridge is one of two bridges that spans the Bosphorus Strait, connecting the European and Asian sides of Istanbul. It stretches from Ortakoy on the European side to Beylerbeyi on the Asian side and is sometimes referred to as the First Bosphorus Bridge.
