Story · Column of Marcian
You're standing at the Column of Marcian, right in the Fatih district of Istanbul. Locals call it Kıztaşı, the girl's stone. Why? I'll get to that. First, look up along the shaft. It's carved from red-grey Egyptian granite, in two pieces. Right at the top sits a Corinthian capital, decorated with eagles.
