Istanbul

Istanbul was the capital of the Ottoman Empire from its conquest on 20 Jumada I 857/29 May 1453 until 1342/1923. In strict Ottoman usage the name covered only the area between the Golden Horn, the Marmara coast and the land wall. The city grew through endowed complexes built by sultans and viziers, such as the Fatih and the Suleymaniye, and through quarters formed around mosques; Muslims, Christians and Jews lived there, and fires, earthquakes and plague struck it repeatedly.
