Merhaba...seterusnya balik dari makan tengahari di Yusufpasa, kami turun di stesen Cemberlitas, stesen sebelum Sultanahmet. Hasrat hati nak pi ziarah makam Sultan Abdul Hamid II, tapi tersilap jalan, singgah di sini...
The Column of Constantine
legasi Roman Empire, diletakkan disini pada tahun 330 AD
(330 tahun selepas kelahiran Nabi Isa)
sejarah the Column of Constantine
ooo..tiang ni dipanggil Cemberlitas (column with rings)
The Nurosmaniye Mosque was built in the 18th century, during the reign of Sultans Mahmud I and Osman III, and under Osman, it received its name: Nur-u Osmani - the Sacred Light of Osman.
The Gazi Atik Ali Pasha mosque was commissioned by the Grand Vizier of Sultan Bayezid II, Atik Ali Pasha - a Bosnian who rose through the ranks to be the most powerful commoner in the early Empire in Istanbul. He died defending the Empire against a rebellion against Bayezid II.
Berjalan lagi ke arah Grand Bazaar, masuk ke lorong bazaar di Corlulu Ali Pasa Camii..mencari toilet..hehe..
lorong bazar di Masjid Corlulu Ali Pasa
Toilet masjid ni entah kat mana, kami pun malas nak cari. Tetiba teringat ke tandas yang cantik di Sultanahmet Meydani. So, kami pun naik tram ke Sultanahmet, terakhir naik tram di Istanbul...
Tiba di Sultanahmet Meydani, kena lalu di kawasan Obelisk, dataran yang luas menempatkan dua tiang, legasi Roman Empire..

Kawasan ni dulu ialah tempat Hippodrome, tempat berlumba chariot kereta kuda di zaman Empayar Roman..
