About this title

Synopsis

Istanbul, European Capital of Culture 2010, has been the "gateway to the East" for the West as well as the "bridge to the West" for the East for more than two and a half millennia. Time and again, the "city with the three names" - Byzantium, later Constantinople, and today Istanbul - has been the place of victories, defeats, and destruction. Every time, though, it grew back to exceed its former size. The metropolis at the Golden Horn has not lost one bit of its charm and fascination. Besides the most important Ancient monuments, Mediaeval as well as modern architecture, this volume also presents less-known places in images and text, as the oriental flair and the colorful hubbub of the bazaars manage to combine history and the present.
