02伊斯坦堡歌词完整版

Istanbul, the world’s most populous and

celebrated transcontinental city, is a bridge

between Europe and Asia that sits on the

Bosphorus Strait. Because of this geography,

the city has hosted travelers from East and West

for centuries, through the rise and fall of the

Byzantine (when it was called Constantinople)

and Ottoman empires up to the present.

Istanbul is Turkey’s historical and cultural center,

and many monuments to its glorious past

are still standing, just waiting to be explored.

Many of Istanbul ’s top his torical

attractions are located in the old city, within

walking distance from Sultanahmet Square.

The Hagia Sophia, with its huge dome, was

built as an Eastern Orthodox church in the

6th century, later turned into a mosque, and

is now preserved as a national museum.

Just to the south with its six minarets and

numerous domes lies the Blue Mosque, named

for its beautiful interior tiles. The mosque,

which was completed in 1617, continues to be

a center of Islamic faith and culture to this

day. Overlooking the Golden Horn just to

the north, the giant Topkapi Palace was home

to Ottoman sultans (and their many wives and

concubines) for almost 400 years.

In addition to historical flavor, Istanbul also

has plenty of modern attractions. The Istanbul

Modern, which opened in 2005, houses an

impressive collection of Turkish art. And Istiklal

Avenue, a pedestrian street running through

the Beyoglu and Galata districts, is lined with

fashionable cafés and boutiques. Or take a

nighttime stroll down Fransiz Sokagi (French

Street) with its gas street lamps and you’d swear

you were in Paris. Finally, dance the night away

at 360 Istanbul, the city’s hottest rooftop club.
