Istanbul: The Crossroads of East and West.

I spent a day visiting Hagia Sophia and Topkapi Palace to see the Ottoman Empire's palaces and Byzantine architecture. As I stepped into Hagia Sophia and walked around the building, I couldn't help but feel a strange sensation thinking that the Eastern Roman emperors and Ottoman sultans might have gazed upon this very structure just like I was. The tiles in the rooms where the sultans' consorts spent their time in Topkapi Palace were absolutely beautiful. Also, the view of the Bosphorus Strait from the café at Topkapi Palace was exceptional, making it a highly recommended spot for a rest. 🥰 ▶︎ Places Visited ☀︎ Hagia Sophia ☀︎ Topkapi Palace
