Did you know Istanbul is one of only five cities in the world that span two continents—Europe and Asia? Home to over 16 million people, it is the largest city in #Turkiye and one of the world’s most vibrant metropolises. #Istanbul’s skyline brings together different eras, from the domes and minarets of #HagiaSophia, the Blue Mosque, and the Süleymaniye Mosque to the elegant Ottoman palaces lining the Bosphorus and the modern high-rises defining its business districts. With its rich past and dynamic present, Istanbul feels like a living museum where history and contemporary life exist side by side. 🎥: @dr.iyasar #architectanddesign
