This print by Paul Seheult captures the essence of Istanbul's rich history and architectural marvels. The image showcases the Roman Hippodrome in Sultanahmet, with its iconic Brazen Column or Column of Constantine Porphyrogenitus undergoing repairs, surrounded by scaffolding. The Roman Hippodrome, once a grand stadium for chariot races and public gatherings, stands as a testament to the city's ancient past. Its vastness and intricate design are beautifully highlighted in this photograph. The column itself holds great significance as it was erected to honor Emperor Constantine Porphyrogenitus. The juxtaposition of the historical structure against the modern scaffolding creates an interesting contrast between old and new. It serves as a reminder that even timeless landmarks require maintenance to preserve their glory for future generations.

This cultural blend is reflected not only in its architecture but also in its vibrant atmosphere.

With stunning landmarks like the Roman Hippodrome at At Meydani (Cavalry Square), visitors can delve deep into Istanbul's storied past while enjoying a memorable vacation filled with exploration and discovery. Paul Seheult has masterfully captured this momentous scene through his lens, allowing us all to appreciate the beauty found within Istanbul's
