Forum of Theodosius, Ancient Roman forum in Beyazıt Square, Istanbul, Turkey.
The Forum of Theodosius contains remnants of marble structures, columns, and architectural elements spread across a large square in central Istanbul.
Emperor Theodosius I reconstructed this forum in 393, modeling it after Trajan's Forum in Rome, with a triumphal column at its center.
The forum served as Constantinople's central gathering space for public ceremonies, political discussions, and commercial transactions during the Byzantine period.
Visitors can reach the archaeological site by taking the metro to Vezneciler Station and walking 15 minutes through the Fatih district.
The forum's marble triumphal arch, constructed from Proconnesian marble, incorporated architectural elements that merged Roman and Byzantine design principles.
