About Hippodrome

The old Hippodrome was begun by Septimius Severus in AD 203 and wrapped up by Constantine the Great in AD 330.

This was the focal point of Byzantine open life and the scene of awe-inspiring amusements, chariot races and factional clashes.

Today, there isn't a great part of the Hippodrome left to see, aside from a little segment of the display dividers on the southern side. Yet what now remains on the site is home to many landmarks.

On the northwest side is a wellspring, given to the Ottoman sultan by the German Emperor William II in 1898.

Further, traveling southwest are three antiquated landmarks: a 20-meter high Egyptian pillar from Heliopolis, the Serpent Column brought here from Delphi by Constantine and a stone monolith that initially was clad in gold-secured bronze plating until the point when it was stolen by the fighters of the fourth Crusade in 1204.
