Roman emperor Constantine moved the capital in 330 from Rome to Byzantium (Istanbul). After 6 years of work by imperial architects and engineers, the small Greek town of Byzantium was rebuilt and turned into an imperial capital.
One of the most important structures in the newly built city was the Hippodrome. While the Hippodrome, where chariots would race, was built, the ancient structure called Circus Maximus in Rome was taken as an example.
During the Byzantine Empire, the Hippodrome continued to be important as the meeting, entertainment, excitement and sports centre of the city until the 10th century. The Hippodrome, 130 metres wide, 450 metres long and in the shape of a horseshoe, was for a hundred thousand spectators.
There were standing stones, equestrian statues, figures, arches, and twisted columns on the spine of the spina wall (the middle barrier of the racecourse), that is, the spine of the hippodrome, which divides the hippodrome right in the middle. Horse racers used to spin around this spina.
At the southern end, there was a series of massive vaults known as the Sphendone (curved tribune of the U-shaped structure). Later these vaults were sealed and used as a cistern to store water. Today it is the most substantial remains of the hippodrome and gives us some idea of how massive it once was.
The emperor had a lodge that he could reach through the palace. The Emperor watched the races from this Imperial lodge called Kathisma. Kathisma was in the side where the Blue Mosque is today.
Today, the Hippodrome has risen 4-5 metres and only 3 monuments and its rounded south (Sphendone) end remain. Again, only one of the thousands of stone seats in the Hippodrome remained.
The name of the Hippodrome, which was on the verge of destruction during the Ottoman period, began to be known as the Horse Square (At Meydanı). This horse square became an area where the Ottoman sultans gave banquets and various entertainments were held.

Sultanahmet Square, or the Hippodrome of Constantinople is a square in Istanbul, Turkey. Previously, it was a circus that was the sporting and social centre of Constantinople, capital of the Byzantine Empire. The word hippodrome comes from the Greek hippos, horse, and dromos, path or way.
The Sultanahmet district is the historic district of Istanbul. There are so many things to visit that you can easily spend the week there
Sultanahmet (the Old City) is one of the most visited sites in Istanbul. A tourist center combining the history, architecture, culture and art, Istanbul’s old city and historical zone, communications hub and an important sightseeing, entertainment & shopping area for the tourists for having a nice Istanbul old city walking tour.
With the popular sights from the three empires, such as the Topkapi Palace, Hagia Sophia, the Blue Mosque, the Hippodrome and the Basilica Cistern, Sultanahmet is a natural magnet to millions of tourists in Istanbul also with its variety of souvenirs and carpets, restaurants and cafe, hotels and guest houses. The relatively traffic free region makes it easy to explore around on foot and by tram.
Strolling around the Sultanahmet Square, enjoying the peaceful atmosphere in the company of the most popular landmarks, museums, mosques, churches, fountains and historical sites of Istanbul and having a rest at the variety of restaurants and cafes around, is one of the best things to do in Sultanahmet.
About all of the most visited historical sites in Istanbul, such as the Hippodrome, Hagia Sophia, Topkapi Palace, Blue Mosque, Basilica Cistern, Istanbul Archaeology Museums and Museum of Turkish and Islamic Arts are situated here and all can be explored by walking.
Sultanahmet square, also known as Hippodrome and surrounded by the Blue Mosque, Hagia Sophia and Museum of Turkish and Islamic Arts, is a popular meeting point and very impressive tourist zone of Sultanahmet leading to all historical sites around Sultanahmet.
The Blue Mosque (Sultanahmet Mosque) is one of the most beautiful mosques and landmarks in both Istanbul and the world. It was built in the 17th century (1603-1617) with the order of Sultan Ahmet I.
Its name comes from the very beautiful blue interior “Iznik tiles”. It is a great sample of the Turkish and Islamic architecture and one of the most visited sights and mosques in Istanbul.
Dating back to 325, Hagia Sophia is a former church and museum and declared as one of the world’s greatest architectural works and accepted as the 8th wonder of the world. Hagia Sophia is also one of the most visited landmarks and museums in Istanbul and in the world.
Serving as a museum since 1935, a decree on 10th of July 2020 to formally declare the Hagia Sophia as a mosque, after Turkey’s administrative court annulled a 1934-dated decision that paved the way for the use of Hagia Sophia as a museum.
