## **Istanbul**
Istanbul,formerly known as Constantinople, is the largest city in Turkey, serving as the country’s economic, cultural and historic hub. The city straddles the [Bosporus](https://maranathatoursinc.createsend1.com/t/i-i-qttkytd-l-d/) [strait](https://maranathatoursinc.createsend1.com/t/i-i-qttkytd-l-h/), lying in both [Europe](https://maranathatoursinc.createsend1.com/t/i-i-qttkytd-l-k/) and [Asia](https://maranathatoursinc.createsend1.com/t/i-i-qttkytd-l-u/).
## **Hierapolis**
Known as the place of St. Philip’s martyrdom, and commemorated by his Martyrium building, Hierapolis, with its several churches, became an important religious center for the Eastern Roman Empire.
## **Library of Celsus **
The library of Celsus, located in Ephesus, is one of the only remaining examples of a library from the Roman Empire. The library was the third-largest library in the Roman world behind only Alexandria and Pergamum.
## **Trajan Fountain**
The Fountain of Trajan was built in the 2nd century AD, and it was dedicated to the emperor Trajan. A colossal statue of Trajan had been placed over the pool. Nowadays, only the feet of that statue have survived.
