Take for instance the remnants of the Ottoman Empire. The architecture consists of impressive materials and interesting geometric shapes and patterns. If you love Ottoman design then you’ll adored the exquisite Ayssofya in Istanbul. Once a church and now a mosque, its dome shape was considered to be outlandish and daring in the 6th century and it has been the model for countless other Ottoman Turkish mosques since. Most of the building serves as a museum today, but there is a small prayer room which is still accessible.
If you love Ottoman design, make sure the Topkapi Palace makes it on your itinerary. As it once served as a royal residence for various dignitaries, the palace had to be designed to a very high standard. The asymmetrical structure is not the original design but comes from the various sultans adding to the design throughout the years. There are loads of secret passage ways – used for the various sultans’ privacy – that can be explored. You can lose yourself for hours playing in this impressive labyrinth, which is part of the museum.
