I think the sign is saying that people shouldn't wash their feet in the basin, but should use a mosque instead. - Inside the 'Blue Mosque'
So nicknamed because of the thousands of blue Iznik tiles lining the interior. - View of Sultanahmet, the Golden Horn, and the Galatia Bridge, from Galatia Tower
- Obelisk of Theodosius, Istanbul
Roman emperor Theodosius I moved this Egyption obelisk from Egypt to Constantinople in 390 AD. At that time, it was already more than 1,800 years old. So this makes the obelisk more than 3,400 years old!
