 The Mosaic Museum Detailed Info
Tucked away behind the Blue Mosque, the often-overlooked Mosaic Museum is actually the ruins of the Great Palace of Byzantium, the imperial residence of the Byzantine emperors when they ruled the areas from Iran to Italy. The mosaics that give the museum its name lay hidden beneath the earth for 1,000 years before being uncovered by archaeologists in 1935. COST: $1.50. OPEN: Wed.-Mon. 9-4.
