All

Sultanahmet Square lies at the heart of Istanbul's Historic Peninsula, the open space where the Blue Mosque (Sultan Ahmed Mosque) and Hagia Sophia face each other. Right beside it stretches the site of the Byzantine Hippodrome, still marked by monuments such as the Egyptian Obelisk and the Serpent Column.

Broadcast by the Istanbul Metropolitan Municipality, this view lets you check the flow of visitors around the fountain and gardens and see the current weather in the old city. Mornings are usually calmer, while afternoons bring larger crowds. Evenings, when the mosques are lit up, and winter days with snow on the domes are especially atmospheric moments to watch.

Sultanahmet Square is a public live camera in Fatih, Istanbul. The stream is published by Istanbul Metropolitan Municipality. We do not broadcast or record anything ourselves: if the owner allows embedding, the stream plays here in the owner’s official player; otherwise only the owner’s own player opens in a separate window.
