Under the
romantic backdrop of minarets and mosques, like a
step out of time stands the ancient city of
Istanbul.
The
only city in the world built on two continents,
Europe and Asia, standing on the shores of Bosphorus
and guarding the precious relics of the
world-dominating empires Roman, Byzantine and
Ottoman which has been the capital, a unique link
between the east and west, past and the present.
Art
