İSTANBUL - THREE CITIES IN ONE

The visitor to modern İstanbul actually gets to experience three great cities at the same time. There is Byzantium, established by Greek traders on the site of an ancient city and even older prehistoric settlements. Byzantium became the seat of the Roman emperor Constantine, took his name (Constantinople) and became the greatest city in the Empireand the largest and wealthiest city in the world. Surviving the fall of Rome itself, Constantinople eventually fell to the Ottoman Turks and became İstanbul, capital of the Ottoman Empire and then chief city of modern-day republican Turkey, with great historic sights and buildings at almost every turn.

BYZANTIUM, CONSTANTINOPLE AND İSTANBUL

The modern city of İstanbul is the sixth largest metropolis in the world. Its beginnings were modest but important settlements dating from the later part of the Stone Age. Recent discoveries have suggested that the area has been inhabited since the 7th millennium BC. Artifacts from the Neolithic period have been discovered on the European side of the city, and nearby remains from the slightly later Copper Age have been found. The remnants of a Phoenician settlement and the Greek city of Chalcedon are also to be seen on the Asian side of the Bosporus. Over the subsequent centuries, many great structures and important monuments were to be erected in these areas as the successor cities became the centers of first Orthodox and then Islamic culture.
