The Million Stone


The Million Stone, the start-up of the road to Europe, use to be considered as the center of the world during the Byzantine era. The city was the center of the world and this point was the center of the center. All distances were calculated in accordance with this point. Its name comes from the unit of length "mile". This pillar is all that is left of the original monument.



A random tourist.
