Istanbul, the City
Bridging Two Continents
Due to its unique geographical location between
Europe and Asia, unrivaled natural beauty, great
historical and cultural heritage, Istanbul has
become an indispensable point of interest for
emperors, merchants, warriors, philosophers,
artists, adventurers and for many others
throughout the ages.
Though its intricate history is linked with
legends, we can trace the first foundations
of today’s Istanbul in the 7th century B.C.
Besides being an increasingly important of for
Christianity starting under the reign of Emperor
Constantine from 4th century A,D. on, Istanbul
also became the most important center for the
Islamic world after the conquest of the city by
the Ottoman Sultan Mehmet II in 1453. In terms
of controlling the East-West route between Asia
and Europe, and the sea connection in the North-
South direction, Istanbul always kept its strategic
importance as a capital city of three successive
empires: The Eastern Roman, Byzantine and
Ottoman Empires. Istanbul, today home for
about more than 12 million multi-ethnic people,
is a huge metropolis and greatest trade and
financial center at the crossroads of continents,
cultures, religions and civilizations.
