Fifteen million inhabitants, coming from all kinds of races today, live in what was once fabulous Byzantium before becoming Constantinople, the splendid and now beautiful Istanbul.

It is recognizable, mysterious, and magical while built at the meeting place where two continents merge, Europe and Asia, the place where West meets the East.
