Capital Of Three Empires Istanbul Kitap Açıklaması: Istanbul, which was the capital of the Roman, Byzantine and Ottoman Empires and which has an accumulation of culture unprecedented across the world, was lucky that nature too has been very generous with it. Given these characteristics, it would not be unfair at all to say that this city was created by nature to be the capital of the world". The fact that churches and synagogues are lined up besides mosques in Istanbul, is very meaningful especially for today as a symbol of tolerance. This city has a distinct place in the world not only because it is a city of civilizations but is also where religions meet. Seeing Hagia Sophia and the Chora Museum, with their rare Byzantine mosaics, as well as the mosques, külliyes, tombs, palaces and kiosks reflecting the Osmanlı splendor will take quite a long time
