Sultanahmet Square is the starting point of touristic tours in Istanbul. At the same time, touristic Sultanahmet hotels are located around this square. The square, which was used as a hippodrome during the years when the Roman Empire ruled the region, was also a hippodrome when it was under the rule of the Byzantine Empire. That's why it was known as the Horse Square. In those days, the local people always gathered in this square and had fun. Obelisks, the remains of which can still be seen today, such as the Obelisk, the Serpent Column and the Knitted Obelisk were used to divide the hippodrome into two. Nowadays, they are among the most important elements of the photographs taken in Sultanahmet Square. The square got its current name after the Blue Mosque, one of the first mosques that comes to mind when talking about places to visit in Istanbul, was built in 1616. After seeing the square, you should definitely visit the mosque. After the mosque, you should continue your tour with places to visit such as Hagia Sophia, Topkapi Palace, Ibrahim Pasha Palace, German Fountain and Hagia Eirene Church. Of course, you should also taste the famous Sultanahmet meatballs here. If you come back without eating this meatball, you will not have come to Istanbul.
