Istanbul is one of Europe's largest cities, and is located in the Marmara region in the northwest of Turkey.
It is the only city that is found partly in Europe and partly in Asia, as it straddles the Bosphorus strait, which connects the Marmara Sea and the Black Sea, dividing Europe and Asia.
This ancient city has a cultural heritage of enormous richness, which is reflected in its architecture and historical buildings including mosques, castles, churches, palaces, synagogues and towers. Its origins go back to ancient Greek times, and the city was the capital of the late Roman Empire, the Byzantine Empire and the Ottoman Empire. One of the most popular attractions of this mythical city is the majestic Sultanahmet mosque with its thousands of tiles; its six minarets are unique in the world. Another important building is Santa Sofia, which was built as a church but is now a museum on Constantine and Ottoman history.
One special and surprising place is the city's cisterns, underground water deposits supported by ornate columns, a mysterious place, watched over by carvings of the Medusa. Visit Istanbul and enjoy some exotic holidays!
