It was the capital to three major empires ( Rome, Byzantine and Ottoman Empires). Here, we will visit several of Turkey’s most famous museums and mosques. Topkapi Palace (excluding harem) was first built by Mehmet the Conqueror in 1453 and was the home of the sultan until the 19th century. St. Sophia was built by Roman Emperor Justinian and was completed in 537 A.D. It was the greatest Christian church in the world for more than 1000 years.
