Istanbul

Istanbul is the only city in the world located in both Asia and Europe. One part of it is located on the European shore of the Bosphorus Strait, and the other - on the Asian. This mixture of mentalities has left a certain imprint on the development of Istanbul, and if the Asian part has retained its medieval appearance, the European part is an amazing combination of Turkish color and the modern city.

At different times Istanbul managed to be the capital of 4 different empires.
