Visualize yourself in Turkey, a country bridges the continents of Europe and Asia. Istanbul has been inhabited as early as 5500 BC. In the 7th Century BC, Greek colonist Byzas named the city Byzantium after himself. In 330, the Roman emperor Constantine declared the city as the capital of the entire Roman Empire and renamed it Constantinople which further became the capital of the Byzantine Empire in the 400s. Constantinople was conquered by the Turks in 1453, then became the capital of the Ottoman Empire and its name changed to Istanbul. Nowadays, with a population of 17 million, the megacity Istanbul is the most crowded city of Turkey established in 1923 and the heart of economic and cultural life of the country.
