The old walled city of Istanbul stands on a triangular peninsula between Europe and Asia.  Sometimes as a bridge, sometimes as a barrier, Istanbul for more than 2,500 years has stood between conflicting surges of religion, culture, and imperial power.  For most of those years it was one of the most coveted cities in the world.   History: In 324 ancient Byzantium became the new capital of the Roman Empire by Emperor Constantine the Great, after whom it was renamed.  From the mid-5th century to the early 13th century, Constantinople was the largest and wealthiest city in Europe.  The city became famous for its architectural masterpieces, The modern Turkish name for the city, Istanbul, derives from the Greek phrase eis tin polin, meaning "to the city."  Some scenes from the video are:  Panoramic view on the Bosphorus Bridge and Eminonu square, Valens Aquaeduct with traffic, Amazing view from Camlica hill, Eminonu Pier, Maidens Tower, Interior of Sultan Ahmet Mosque, Inside of Hagia Sophia museum, People Crowd in Grand Bazaar, Kadikoy Harbor, New Mosque in Eminonu, Sehzade Mosque, Topkapi Palace, Ortakoy Mosque.
