About City
Istanbul is the most populous city and also the economic, historic and cultural center in Turkey. Formerly known as Byzantium and Constantinople, Istanbul is among the world’s populous cities and has also been ranked as World’s fourth largest city proper and the largest European City. It is a transcontinental city in Eurasia, straddling the Bosporus strait (which separates Europe and Asia) between the Sea of Marmara and the Black Sea.
Istanbul is primarily known for its Byzantine and Ottoman architecture, but the city also reflects the architecture of its previous rulers. The obelisk of Theodosius in the Hippodrome of Constantinople (today, known as Sultanahmet Square) and a section of the Valens Aqueduct that was constructed in late 4th century is still standing relatively relatively intact showing the examples of Roman Architecture. Similarly, the Church of the Saints Sergius and Bacchus (later converted into Little Hagia Sophia Mosque by Ottoman Empire) and Byzantine church in Istanbul—albeit in ruins—is the Monastery of Stoudios (later converted into the Imrahor Mosque) gives the example for Byzantine architecture. Ottoman Architecture can be seen easily throughout the city of Istanbul with its oldest surviving fortresses Anadoluhisarı and Rumelihisari. The largest palace, Topkapı, Fatih Mosque, Bayezid Mosque, Yavuz Selim Mosque, Süleymaniye Mosque, Sultan Ahmed Mosque (the Blue Mosque), and Yeni Mosque are the examples of the Ottoman Architecture.
Istanbul’s economy has been one of the fastest growing among OECD metro regions and isresponsible for 27 percent of Turkey’s GDP. Istanbul has a diverse industrial economy, producing commodities as varied as olive oil, tobacco, vehicles, and electronics. It is an increasingly popular tourist’s destination.
