| Istanbul
(Turkish: ?stanbul, formerly Constantinople)
is the largest (and arguably the most important) city in
Turkey. Located on the Bosphorus, the
narrow strait between the Black and the Aegean Seas,
Istanbul truly bridges
Asia and
Europe both literally and figuratively. Istanbul's
population is variously estimated between 11 and 15 million
people, making it also one of the largest cities in
Europe. Founded by Constantine the Great in 324 CE on
the site of ancient Byzantium, Istanbul was the capital,
successively, of the Eastern Roman Empire (324-476), the
Byzantine Empire (476-1453) and the Ottoman Empire
(1453-1922) - this almost unrivalled heritage, as well as
its dynamic modern existence, make Istanbul a fantastic
destination for for many travelers. . |
