Full description

The Column of Constantine was raised in the 4th century by Emperor Constantine the Great to commemorate the establishment of Constantinople as the capital of the Roman Empire. It stands on a square that once formed the centre of the new Byzantine city, and it has been recently restored.

The monument is free to see at any hour and needs only about 15 minutes. Reviewers describe the surroundings as spacious, with nearby food options and ATMs, making it a convenient pause rather than a destination on its own.
