What to see

You climb into the centre of the dome, where the painting wraps all the way around, with three-dimensional figures and objects in the foreground blending into it; the floors below have panels on Byzantine Constantinople and the conquest. The city opened it in 2009.

Forty-five minutes to an hour; the land walls are a short walk away.

Closed on Mondays, and it closes early (16:30) — plan it for the morning.

Getting there

In the Topkapı Culture Park in Zeytinburnu, beside the land walls; the Topkapı stop of the T1 tram is a few minutes away on foot.

Transport lines are general directions, not checked against the operator's timetable.
