THE HISTORY

The only country to be situated on two continents, since ancient times, Turkey has been at the crossroads of the world. Turkey has a very rich and colourful history. Beginning in the Palaeolithic Age, remnants and ancient works have been found dating from 20,000 to 8,000 B.C. Since then, the territory now known as Turkey has been occupied by diverse civilisations that have all left traces of their art and culture. For countless generations, camel caravans trekked from the East towards Istanbul delivering spices and silks for the market places of the west. This meeting of East and West created a unique culture still in evidence today.
