Perhaps more than any other city in the modern world, Istanbul embodies the ideal of unification. There is, of course, far more than geography to the magical hold of Istanbul exerted over man’s imagination throughout its fabulous history. 3 separate empires ruled the world from this powerful capital the Roman, the Byzantines & the Ottomans. Trace of their presence in ancient walls, impressive hippodromes, royal basilicas, aqueducts, magnificent mosques, brilliant palaces shape Istanbul’s alluring landscape & colour its exotic texture. For more than 3000 years, this city has been at crossroads of cultures & a bridge between East & West. The city of past, present & future... Istanbul welcomes you. |
