The Sphendone
This semi-circular wall supports the south-western end of the Hippodrome, a vast structure begun in 203 by Emperor Septimius Severus and enlarged by Constantine the Great in the 4th century. By the time of my visit in 1991, the houses which occupied this place previously have been demolished, exposing more of the ancient wall to public display.
View to the west from Nakilbent Sokağı.
