Western District Istanbul
I wondered around the western district of Istanbul. It is a very beautiful and often overlooked area. There are many sights to see including The Aqueducts of Valens built in the early 5th century. The Mosque where Sultan Mehmed II, who conquered Istanbul for the Ottomans in 1452, is buried. The defensive walls from the late 4th century still stand in this area and have a beautiful view from on top of them. Also, there are plenty of small churches, turned into museums, with amazing mosaics and frescos.
