Save to your city mapThe Serpent Column is an sacrificial tripod from Ancient Greece located at the Hippodrome. It was originally constructed as an offering to Apollo at Delphi in 479 BC, and was moved by Emperor Constantine to Istanbul in an attempt to make Constantinople the cultural metropole of the Eastern Roman Empire. Only the column of the tripod still stands, but one of the serpent heads can be seen in the Archaeology Museum.
