Byzantine İstanbul : A Self Guided Tour

Istanbul's glorious history as Constantinople, capital of the Byzantine Empire for over one thousand years, comes alive through this guide to the city's many Byzantine sites. From the awe-inspiring domed nave of the fifth-century Theodosian walls, from the exquisite mosaics of Chora Church to dungeons and underground cisterns, from Greek Orthodox churches to sacred springs, the ten walking routes in this book take visitors through every layer of Istanbul's rich Byzantine past.
This updated and expanded second edition features new photos and all new maps; information on newly restored churches and recent archeological excavations of the Great Palace and the ancient Eleutherius Harbor; and a new walk along the seawalls by the Marmara Sea, making it the most comprehensive guide to Byzantine Istanbul available.
