Sultanahmet Square (Hippodrome) Topographical Miniature
MODEL CONTAINS HASEKI BATHS, GERMAN FOUNTAIN, AHMAD’S TOMB AND 3 OBELISK FROM ANCIENT EGYPT AND ROMAN EMPIRE.
The historical heart of Istanbul, Sultanahmet Square sits on the site of the ancient Roman Hippodrome. It is home to monumental obelisks, the German Fountain, and serves as the grand plaza connecting the Blue Mosque and Hagia Sophia. Our topographical scale model recreates this expansive historical layout. By blending urban landscape modeling with precise architectural scaling, this miniature park diorama allows visitors to grasp the vast historical layers of the Byzantine and Ottoman empires in one highly durable, outdoor-ready display. Below you can view photos of the Sultanahmet Square miniature model.
The Sultanahmet Square miniature model was produced in MiniatureArt’s 4,500 m² workshop in Istanbul. Our model-making process starts with detailed documentation of the building’s architectural drawings, photographs and proportions; the model is then designed in one of the standard scales such as 1:10, 1:15 or 1:25, depending on the project.
The main form of the building is carved from solid polyurethane blocks using CNC machines and 7-axis robots. Fine details such as façades, windows, roofs and ornaments are finished and painted by hand by our team of architects, sculptors and painters. As a result, each model lets visitors experience the real building on a small scale, with faithful proportions and surface textures.
Our models displayed outdoors in miniature parks are designed to withstand harsh conditions such as sun, rain and frost. For a similar historical building model, museum model or miniature park project, contact us.
