During its long history, Istanbul has served as the capital of the Roman Empire (330–395), the Byzantine Empire (395–1204
and 1261–1453), the Latin Empire (1204–1261), and the
Ottoman Empire (1453–1922).
ISTANBUL Where east meets west…
Istanbul is the largest city of Turkey, home to a population of approximately 14 million
people. Extending both on the European and Asian sides of the
strait, Istanbul is the only metropolis in the world situated on two continents.
Historic and modern, European and Asian — that's Istanbul. The
city at the junction of two continents is home to ancient structures like the Hagia Sophia and Topkapi Palace in the Old
City, as well as hotels, restaurants and artistic venues in the New City. The sight of mosques and bustling bazaars are
common in Istanbul. Across the Bosporus Strait, the Asian side of Istanbul offers a glimpse into the everyday, residential life.
Dare if you will to explore what has never ceased to pique curiosity for centuries…
