HippodromeThe ancient Hippodrome of Constantinople was built between 200
and 300 as a stadium for horse racing, chariot racing, and other
amusements. Seating up to 100,000 people, there isn't much
remaining of the structure today. Now the site of the Hippodrome in
Istanbul is a beautiful public park with a few remaining columns
hinting at its grand past. The Obelisk of Tutmosis III, the
Basilica Cistern, the Fountain of Wilhelm II, and the Serpentine
and Constantine Columns are popular landmarks within the park,
which also offers free wireless internet.
