Grand winter excursions to the Azores, Madeira, the Mediterranean and the Orient . hecatomb ofserpentine column in thecentre still bears the mark of the famous sabre-stroke of Ma-homet, the Conqueror. Other points of interest are the Museum of the Janissaries, the Seraglio Gardens, where the inclined plane may still beseen, by which faithless odalisques were rolled into the sea, and the Sublime Porte; the tower of the Seraskierat (War Of-fice), the tombs of the Sultans Mahmud and Abdul Aziz; themagnificent palace, or ratherthe imperial city of Dolma :Bagtche, the residence of theSultans; the Great Wall be-gun by Theodosius, whichprotected the town towards theland side, the large cisterns, which are said to have fur-nished water for one millionmen during four months, andthe Castle of the SevenTowers, of evil fame, recalling the worstepochs of tyranny of the Sul-tans.
