Tombs of the Sultans - Sights for free
Istanbul has a lot of interesting things to see and experience. And a lot of them are not openly advertised or well known to the common traveler. One of those are the often overseen tombs of the sultans, even though those are situated between two of the most visited sights in Istanbul, the Hagia Sophia and the Topkapi Palace. Right in the heart of the old town Sultanahmet, basically in the backyard of the Hagia Sophia. Tombs of the Sultans - Istanbul - Outside Tombs of the Sultans Underneath tourist-thronged Hagia Sophia is an oasis of calm in the form of five sultans’ tombs. Each is decorated differently and there are wonderful examples of Iznik tiling. Beautiful, and free to enter too. How to get there Well, basically just walk around the Hagia Sophia on the right side if you stand in front of the main entrance. Around the corner left hand, after a mere 50m, is the entry to the tombs. Some Impressions of the Tombs Tiles and Design - Tombs Hagia Sophia Tombs o
