Location
Istanbul is one of the largest and most developed cities in modern Turkey. The city is rightfully considered the second capital and the main seaport of the country. Its peculiarity lies in the fact that it is located in two parts of the world at once and is divided into the European and Asian parts by the Bosphorus. In ancient times, the city was the capital of the Ottoman Empire and its name was Constantinople. Therefore, it houses a huge number of mosques, sights and valuable artifacts of ancient culture.
The Blue Mosque and Hagia Sophia are considered to be the symbols of the city. Both temples are located close to each other. The Blue Mosque got its name because of the interior decoration with blue tiles, which on sunny days reflects the rays and fills the room with a bluish glow. The special feature of the mosque is the presence of six minarets, while the usual number is considered four minarets. The Church of the Holy Wisdom, which is known as Hagia Sophia, is also a mosque and a museum, although it was built as an Orthodox church by the order of Emperor Justinian in 532. The temple organically combines two cultures inside – Orthodoxy and Islam. The walls of the cathedral are decorated with mosaics depicting saints, as well as biblical stories, which testify to the Christian past of the temple.
In addition to the historical monuments, Istanbul has many eastern markets and shopping malls, which are as large as the European ones. The most famous market is the Grand Bazaar. It is a traditional eastern market, where one can immerse into the atmosphere of eastern trade traditions and buy clothes, jewelry, gadgets, spices, and much more at quite favorable prices. Cevahir is one of the largest shopping centers. It is located in the Sisli district and has over 350 stores. It occupies an area of 420,000 square meters. It has many brand boutiques, restaurants with traditional eastern and European cuisine.
Istanbul is a unique and modern metropolis where huge business centers and luxurious nightclubs are located next to the monuments of ancient architecture. The city perfectly combines European culture and honors Muslim traditions. Thousands of tourists come here every year in order to visit various fairs and attractions, which will surely leave unforgettable impressions and emotions for many years.
