Halic – the area surrounding the Golden Horn, which belongs to the Historical Peninsula, is rightfully considered one of the most beautiful parts of Istanbul. The Golden Horn, which serves as the gateway to the Bosphorus, is so named due to its horn-shaped shape and the fact that its waters are cast in gold, especially at sunset. The Golden Horn with its natural harbor once served as an important port where merchant ships of the Ottoman and Eastern Roman Empires anchored. Now it is a multicultural area with mosques, churches, synagogues and ancient schools, preserving traces of more than a thousand years of Istanbul's history. In addition, modern attractions are concentrated here, giving the city a new charm.
