Partially. It is often considered the place where the Orient meets the Occident. Many powers have fought over the years over the years because of its strategic location.

It's popular because it offers a lot of historical sites that come from different civilizations.

Half of Istanbul is located in Europe and half of it is located in Asia. It may be the only city in the world situated on two continents.It is also the gateway of Black Sea countries to Mediterranean.
