This page shows a gallery of AI images of Istanbul. All of the pictures below are AI-generated: they were created with artificial intelligence image tools and are not real photographs. They are inspired by some of the best-known sights of the city, including Hagia Sophia, the Old Town of Istanbul, Galata Tower and more.
AI image generators create a picture from a written description. The results can be atmospheric and imaginative, but they are an interpretation rather than a record. Details such as the shape of a dome, the number of minarets or the layout of the streets may differ from the real places, so these images should not be used as a guide to how Istanbul actually looks. We share them here as a creative experiment and as a way to see a familiar city in a different, dreamlike style.
If you would like real photographs of Istanbul, or a photo session in front of the real Hagia Sophia and Galata Tower, have a look at the photography posts and photographer listings elsewhere on this site.
