The ancient Hippodrome was begun by Septimus Severus in AD 203 and completed by Constantine the Great in AD 330. This was the centre of Byzantine public life and the scene of splendid games and chariot races but also factional conflicts. Today there isn't much of the Hippodrome left to see except for a small section of the gallery wallson the southern side, but the At Meydanı (park) that now stands on the site is home to a variety of monuments.
