Istanbul Deko Project
2013

The outstanding universal
value of Istanbul resides in
its unique integration of
architectural masterpieces
that reflect the meeting of
East and West over many
centuries, and in its
incomparable skyline formed
not only by the creative genius
of Byzantine and Ottoman
architects but also its buildings
reflect the various culture and
empires that have ruled its
predecessors. Genoese, Roman,
and even Greek and Arabic
forms of architecture remain
visible in Istanbul alongside
their Ottoman counterparts.
