Istanbul
Straddling the continents of Europe and Asia, Turkey tries to be a bridge between West and East. The portion of Turkey's land in Europe may be small (about 5 percent), but the country's largest city, Istanbul, is there. With a population of nearly 13 million people, Istanbul is the third most populous European urban area, after Moscow and Paris. Sixteen centuries as the legendary capital of the Byzantine, Roman, and Ottoman Empires, Istanbul has long entranced the civilized world. It physically and metaphorically bridges the cultures and philosophies of Europe and Asia, Occident and Orient. Historically a tolerant melting pot (as the center of Christendom for over a millennium and Islam’s seat for another 500 years) it remains home to the Patriarchate of the Eastern Orthodox Church, Sephardic Jewish heritage sites, and legacies of numerous ethnic groups. Maybe for all these Istanbul was chosen as European Capital of Culture in 2010.
