#istanbul #turkey #turkiye #attractions #bluemosque #views #architecture #historical When one comes to Istanbul, one will have to visit the ever popular Blue Mosque, with its iconic architecture, an amazing master piece that was said to be build more than 400 years ago. This is a magnificent huge structure and it's very popular among the tourists, as the queue here gets ridiculously long that we didn't intend to ever enter. After viewing the blue mosque, do not forget to take a short walk towards the sultanahmet Square and the oblisek of theodosius which is just a short 5mins walk away. The oblisek is a monument that was said to be erected in the 4th AD, and has some historical values dating back towards the Egypt empires. The sultanahmet Square is an area where all the remnants of an aerodrome plus many historical buildings. This should not be missed!
