when, Following a siege of 53 days in 1453, the City was captured by the Turks.
The Large Caliber cannons of Sultan Mehmet, The Conqueror, used for the first
time in History, were one of the factors that enable the Turks to penetrate the
City walls of Istanbul.Another factor contributing to the conquest was the
Byzantine Empire had reached the end of its Natural Life Span.
Sultan Mehmet the Conqueror, who was only 21 years old then, moved the
Capital of the Ottoman Empire to Istanbul, increased the Population of the City
by bringing in immigrants from different regions of the Country, and started to
reconstruct the deserted and wrecked city.He granted freedom of worship and
social rights to the former inhabitants

than 4 years.
Mustafa Kemal Ataturk assumed the Presidency of this Republic in Asia, and
Changed the course of his country toward the
Principles of Western Civilization.
By the time Ataturk died in 1938,
the Republic of Turkey was already recognized as a member of the Western World.
The relocation of the Capital to Ankara never reduced the importance of Istanbul, and
this incomparable city continued to maintain its enchanting appearance and life style.
The Republic of Turkey has now proceeded for 75 years on the path of reason, based on
scientific thought and facts, that was pointed out by Ataturk..

Here is the Second Oldest Underground Railway in Europe, the Tunnel, which is still the shortest in the World. The Upper
end of the Tunnel marks the beginning of Istiklal Avenue.This is a pedestrian street, except for the old-fashioned Tramways
that have again been put into service, and it is surrounded by the buildings of foreign missions-foreign embassies that were
converted into consulates in the Republican era.

Turkey's largest and most magnificent railway station, Haydarpasa was built in the early 20th century by the German
architects Otto Ritter and Helmuth Cuno. A monument to the close Turkish - German relations of the time, the

33. The Inhabitants of Istanbul enjoy all 4 Seasons.
The Characteristic Wheather here is somewhat cooler version of the Mediterranean Climate:
•A Short Spring
•Ideal Summer Temperatures,
•A Long Autumn With Blue Skies And A Rainy Winter,
•The Bosphorus Dons The Purple Of The Judas-Tree Groves In The Spring.
The Parks and gardens are decorated with Tulips and other flowers.
March is Cool & Rainy month, but April and May are exactly what one expects of the Spring.
June is half Spring, half Summer.
It is possible to bathe in the seas of Istanbul until the end of September.
n July and August, except for perhaps two or three hot weeks, there are sometimes even cloudy or cool days. The weather can
be undependable in a region with such a blending of lands and seas. Morning clouds may clear toward noon and invite the
sun. Autumn is the longest season, and during the larger part of the year the morning haze makes the skies as bright as
mother-of-pearl.
Average Annual Temperature 13.7°C (56.6 °F)
Coldest Month: February 5°C (41°F)
Hottest Months: July-August 22-23°C (72-74°F)
Average Annual Precipitation: 691 mm (27 inches)
Average Snowy Days: 7
During the winter months from December to March one needs a raincoat, a thick coat, and sometimes even a fur. There are
few days of frost or snow. The main winds throughout the year are the cool and rainy "poyraz" from the south, and the warm
"lodos" from the south.
The last severe winter within the city boundaries was experienced in 1978 when the airport had to be closed partially for three
days. For those who long for the snow, the winter sports center in Uludag, Bursa is not far away.
Alongside the efforts involving wastewater infrastructure, the seawaters are in the process of being cleaned and Istanbul is
returning to its pre- pollution times of rich bathing opportunities. The beaches on the coast of the Black Sea, the Marmara, and
the Princes' Islands are all less than one hour away from the center, and swimming is possible throughout the summer
months.Only experienced swimmers should attempt the currents of the cool Bosphorus. On windy days, the Black Sea is like the
ocean.
“No other city in the world has beaches that are so safe and so close to the city, and seawaters with salt levels to suit every
taste”
Older inhabitants remember the days when they bathed in the Golden Horn; maybe it will be possible to do so again before
the year 2004.
