Description
English: The So-called "Snake column" or "Serpents column" that used to be in the centre of the Hippodrome in Constantinople. Originally it had three heads and came from Delphi, one of the heads is in the Istanbul museum today.
Español: La Columna de las Serpientes (en turco: Yilanli Sütun), también conocida como la Columna Serpentina, el Trípode de Delfos y el Trípode de Platea, es una antigua columna de bronce situada en el Hipódromo de Constantinopla, conocido como «plaza de los caballos» - Atmeydanı - durante el período Imperio otomano. Actualmente el lugar es conocido como la «Plaza Sultán Ahmet» de Estambul, Turquía. La columna, que forma parte de un trípode de sacrificios de la Antigua Grecia, originariamente se encontraba en Delfos y fue trasladada a Constantinopla por Constantino I el Grande en el año 324. La columna, de ocho metros de alto, contaba con tres cabezas de serpientes que permanecieron intactas hasta fines del siglo XVII. Una de ellas se exhibe actualmente en las cercanías, en el Museo arqueológico de Estambul.
