This is Istanbul.
It's the largest city in the world with territory on two continents — Europe and Asia.
More than 15 million people live here which makes it the seventh-largest city in Asia and the number-one largest city in Europe.
It's also one of the most famous and well-known cities that humanity has ever built.
It has served as the capital city for three great historical empires — the Romans, the Byzantines and the Ottomans.
And it's been the largest city in the world on two separate historical occasions during both the 7th and 17th centuries.
Today nearly 1 out of every 5 Turks live in Istanbul.
The city accounts for over half of all Turkey's trade and it has an economy larger than the entirety of South Africa.
