Fatih Mosque, the first production, to expand the area of ​​the mosque walls and a dome resting on two feet and a half in front of the dome was added to it. Thus, 26 m diameter dome over a century, has maintained the quality of the large dome. Plan and to accomplish the second time the mosque is a small domed mosques cantilever with a sharp challenge has been building. At present, the central dome and four elephant sitting on oil, it is surrounded by four half-domes. Half-domes around half a second degree, and a full canopy, and the outer mahfildeki ablutions in front of hydrants covered galleries. The left side of the mihrab, from the tomb with a large ramp and the rooms are entered in the Sultan's loge.

Cones were made of stone minarets at the end of the 19th century.

Grand viziers, Şeyhülislamlar, senders, and is where many tombs of men of science, such as the Ottoman protocol at a ceremony in one literally seen place.

Medusa's head stone is that ministers are her reason for substituting the opposite.

I. To provide water to the palaces in the vicinity Justinian (527-565) were made during the reign. The cistern, 143 meters long and 65 meters wide and covers an area of ​​9800 square meters in total. Its 336 units are 12 rows of 28 columns, column headers are usually styles of Ion and Corinth. Topics in the Doric style are also found, however, few were left undecorated. The cistern, 4 feet thick, baked-brick wall and surrounded by a waterproofing plastered specifically for the purpose.
According to the seasons changing in time the water level in the cistern, out of the water through pipes at different levels are on the east wall. The tracks left by the water levels, can be seen in columns. Cistern water requirement, 19 km from the city. Belgrad Forest to the north of the emperor Justinian (Justinian) was met by the aqueduct was built.

In 1984, major repairs made ​​during the cleaning of the floor, more than 1 meter below the mud cleared, the original brick floor and 2-column blocks of marble Medusa heads were uncovered. Have been able to walk around the cistern was built by road. Cistern, concerts and various cultural events are held from time to time
The northwest corner of the cistern under the two-column head of Medusa as a rule used in the two examples of the art of sculpture at the age of Rome. 4. century were brought here by taking the structure of these heads, which although not a precise knowledge of young people of an ancient Roman cistern in the construction-only column base structure and removed the need for getirldiği here used to be generally accepted opinion among researchers. (According to another opinion one side of one of the heads of Medusa as a polytheistic religion, the monotheistic religion that has given the inverted during the transition period as it is possible to evaluate a type expression).

One reason for substituting him saying in reverse according to the head of Medusa is that the ministers of stone. Another Arab army, according to a statement to Istanbul, Justinian I heard came out of this cistern made ​​quickly ordered. In this case, the city of the Arab army at the siege before the cistern cistern rather than trying to make a swift completion of the Byzantines was important for the interior decoration. Therefore, the flat stones used as column bases, or constructed value, rather than the aesthetic value of the use of inverted or flat in the building to be constructed as soon as possible, to carry those important to complete.

Quite different positions in the center of the settlement this year, striking ulaştıklarına Karul skeletons, said:

A small courtyard in the center of the circular shape of the settlement'', as used in the cemetery. Collectively termed the burial graves here have reached a few meters intervals 3. Alışagelmemiş burials, very very interesting. Especially interesting are in the courtyard, are very different.

This new skeletons who reached close to each other. Some questions come to mind. What it means to be present in the skeletons? To those found with the skeletons of last year, the research, the bones were found reaching the trail will lead to injury or death. Again, think of the sacrifice ceremony, or be killed for any reason. There is no data entered in a show organized fight. Organized at a time when the fight does not have skeletons in this way is very interesting. Location of all of them, a few meters away from the center of the settlement even though they are also very interesting. Suggests that they are the victim or the execution, especially burayla getirildikleri.''
