Istanbul (2024) is the ancient city of Constantinople (Κωνσταντινούπολις) - "city of Constantine" - and the most beautiful city of Turkey and certainly one of the most impressive cities in the world. The city of Constantinople was the pearl of Byzantium untill it was conquered in 1453 by the Ottomans who made it the capital of the Ottoman Empire. The city remained powerful as it was strategically located at the Dardanelles and the Bosphorus which connected the Aegean Sea and the Mediterranean to the Black Sea. The Ottomans named the city Konstantiniyye. Finally, the Turkish Republic, which was established in 1923 by Ataturk, renamed the city of Constantinople in Istanbul. However, Istanbul preserved its Greek origin as "Is tin Pol(is)"means 'To the City' in Greek. After WW I the city grew enormously and their population, although uncertain due to illegal immigration, blew up to approximately 16 million citizens.
Istanbul retained many ancient artifacts from its Greek-Hellenistic, Byzantine and Ottoman past, like the artifacts of the Hippodrome, the impressive Orthodox Cathedral of Agia Sofia, the city walls of Theodosios, the Chora Church, the small Agia Sofia church, the Topkapi and Dolmabahce palaces, the Yedikule Fortress and many hightlights more. Istanbul is also the only city in the world which is located on two continents: Europe and Asia.
