From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Istanbul (Turkish: 陌stanbul) (the former Constantinople, Greek: 螝蠅谓蟽蟿伪谓蟿喂谓慰蠉蟺慰位喂蟼) is the largest city in Turkey, and arguably the most important. It is located on the Bosphorus strait, and encompasses the natural harbor known as the Golden Horn (Turkish: Hali莽), in the northwest of the country. It is officially located in both Europe and Asia, but is generally considered European, perhaps because its predecessor, Constantinople, was the capital of the Eastern Roman Empire. Its 2000 Census population is 8,803,468 (city proper) and 10,018,735 (metropolitan area), making it, by some counts, one of the largest cities in Europe. Census bureau estimate of 7/20/2005 is 11,322,000 for the city proper. 陌stanbul is located at 41掳 N 28掳 E, and is the capital of 陌stanbul Province.
