VENUE
The conference will be held at Istanbul, Turkey. Istanbul is the only city in the world to have played capital to consecutive Christian and Islamic empires, and retains features of both, often in congested proximity. Byzantium, as the city was formerly known, was an important trading centre, but only gained real power in the fourth century AD, when Constantine chose it as the new capital of the Roman Empire. Later, as Constantinople, the city became increasingly dissociated from Rome, adopting the Greek language and Christianity. As the Byzantines declined, the Ottoman Empire prospered, and in 1453 the city was captured by Mehmet the Conqueror. In the following century, the victory was reinforced by the great military achievements of Selim the Grim and by the reign of Suleyman the Magnificent, whose conquests helped fund the greatest of all Ottoman architects, Mimar Sinan. By the nineteenth century, however, the glory days of Ottoman domination were firmly over. Defeat in World War I was followed by the War of Independence, after which Ataturk created a new capital in Ankara -although Istanbul retained its importance as a centre of trade and commerce.
The city is divided in two by the Bosphorus, which runs between the Black Sea and the Sea of Marmara, dividing Europe from Asia. At right angles to it, the inlet of the Golden Horn cuts the European side in two. The old centre of Sultanahmet, occupying the tip of the peninsula south of the Golden Horn, is home to the city's main sightseeing attractions: the cathedral of Aya Sofya, Topkapi Palace and the Blue Mosque, and as such many people find that they spend all their time here. Further west near the explorable city walls lies the Kariye Mosque, which contains the city's finest surviving Byzantine mosaics and frescoes. Across the Golden Horn to the north, the Galata Tower offers superb panoramic views over the city.
