Most viewed - Bosphorus Cruise, 3/31/2006

Küçüksu Palace646 viewsNeo-Baroque structure, built on the waterfront on the Asian side of the Bosphorus as a summer residence for the Sultan.

The Stone of Million645 viewsAt left, all that remains of a domed building from the 4th century AD which marked the starting point for measuring distances to all parts of the Byzantine Empire.

Waterborne Fountain645 viewsThis fountain marked the entrance to the Golden Horn from the Bosphorus. In the background is the Galata Bridge across the Golden Horn.

Rüstem Pasha Mosque644 viewsNamed for the Grand Vizier and son-in-law of Sultan Suleiman the Magnificent, this mosque was designed by the great architect Mimar Sinan and completed in 1563.

The Beylerbeyi Palace636 viewsOn the Asian side of the Bosphorus; used as a summer residence by the Sultan. (These guys had more palaces than they knew what to do with.)

Galata Bridge634 viewsFishermen line the railings of this 19th-century bridge, and fish-sandwich restaurants occupy the lower level. As for the billboard, I guess the Turks must eat a lot of Kale.

Kuleli Military High School632 viewsThe oldest military high school in Turkey, founded in 1845 by Sultan Abdülmecid I.

Mihrimah Sultan Mosque630 views16th-century mosque in the Üsküdar district of Istanbul, on the Asian side. The older and smaller of two Istanbul mosques commissioned by Mihrimah, daughter of Sultan Suleiman the Magnificent; the other is on the European side, in the Fatih district.

The Sublime Porte629 viewsThe building at left with the flag in front replaced the Topkapi Palace as the headquarters of the Grand Vizier and the government ministries in the 19th century. Its gate, the Bab-i Aii. translated into French as Sublime Porte, became a metaphor for the Ottoman government. Today it is the seat of the provincial governor.

Dolmabahçe Palace627 viewsBegun in 1843 by Sultan Abdülmecid I, completed in 1856, the Dolmabahçe Palace superseded Topkapi as the Sultan's' primary residence and seat of government for the last half-century of the Ottoman Empire.

Evolution of a Fortress627 viewsAfter the conquest of Constantinople, Rumelihisari served first as a customs barrier and then a prison. Today it is a museum that also hosts concerts and various kinds of festivals.

German Fountain613 viewsConstructed to commemorate Kaiser Wilhelm II's second visit to Turkey (1898). The Kaiser was promoting a Berlin-to-Baghdad railway which he hoped would provide Germany access to the Middle East with its rich oilfields.
