Serpent Column

Here we will talk about the Haunted Serpent Column from the spoils of war to the brutal execution of a Byzantine Emperor that took place here.

German Fountain

We will briefly discuss the German Fountain and how the same location was the starting gates for the chariot races in the Hippodrome. In the 17th century Ottoman soldiers were returning home from war and they were not being paid. This led to a deadly event that happened at this location where a very old tree once stood.

Sultan Ahmet Tomb

In the Ottoman Empire the law of Fratricide allowed these Sultans to kill their brothers and children who threatened their throne. Brothers killing brothers and now they haunt the Mausoleum where their bodies lay.

Sultanahmet Square

In the early 17th Century coffee was banned for public drinking and the consequences were literally deadly.

Imperial Gate Bab-i-Humayun

The main gate to the Imperial Palace is grand, but it was also meant to scare and intimidate all those who entered. The head gardener of the palace gardens also had a special race that was literally a matter of life and death.
