Istanbul is a modern city with a very ancient past.
It is the only city in the world to be located on
the continents of both Europe and Asia. Istanbul
was the capital of three great empires in history:
The Roman, the Byzantine and finally the Ottoman
Empire. The city still holds many of the great monuments
of these times. Founded by the mythological King
Byzas in the 7th century B.C.,it later became
known during the time of the Emperor Constantine,
as Constantinople. During the peak of the
Byzantine Empire the St.Sophia was built and the
great underground cisterns. After Sultan Mehmet conquered the city in 1453,
the city was adorned with more magnificent
structures, such as the Suleymaniye Mosque of the
great architect
Sinan. There is more than just history to see in
the multi-faceted city of Istanbul…
