You're standing at the Milion, on the northern corner of the square by Hagia Sophia, just a stone's throw from the Basilica Cistern. See that lonely pillar? It doesn't look like much, but this was once the zero point of an entire empire. From here, distances were measured to the cities of the Eastern Roman Empire.
