Turkey, a land steeped in history and culture, is a captivating destination that offers a glimpse into the rich tapestry of civilizations that have shaped its identity. From the majestic bust of the Roman emperor Marcus Aurelius to the intricate Iznik tiles in Topkapi Palace, every corner of this enchanting country tells a story. As we explore Turkey's past, we encounter remnants of empires long gone. The Map of The Byzantine Empire takes us back to an era when Constantinople stood as the heart of civilization. Apostle Paul's Missionary Journeys lithograph reminds us of Turkey's significance in early Christianity. Delving further into history, we uncover the Ancient Persian Empire through an ancient map. Its influence on Turkish soil cannot be understated. Similarly, Ancient Greece and its colonies around the Aegean showcase their indelible mark on this land. In more recent times, Mustafa Kemal Ataturk emerges as a towering figure who led Turkey towards modernity and progress during his tenure as president from 1923 to 1938. His legacy lives on today as he remains an inspiration for many. Religion also plays a significant role in Turkey's heritage. The Armenian church of Holy Cross stands proudly on Akdamar Island in Lake Van—a testament to centuries-old faith and architectural marvels. Artistic endeavors find their place too within Turkey's borders. Louis Wain's A Christmas Catastrophe painting adds whimsy and charm to our understanding of cultural expressions throughout time. No visit to Turkey would be complete without experiencing its iconic landmarks firsthand—the awe-inspiring Aya Sofya (Hagia Sophia) Sultanahmet being one such gem that leaves visitors spellbound with its grandeur. Finally, let us not forget about Istanbul’s Topkapi Palace adorned with mesmerizing Iznik tiles—each tile telling tales from different periods while showcasing breathtaking craftsmanship unique to this region.
