Istanbul: City of History, Intrigue, and - Shopping Malls?!

Istanbul, Turkey's gateway to the west, is an ancient city. It's been called Byzantium, Constantinople, and, lately, Istanbul.

It's got ruins from antiquity, architectural gems from the past, and shopping malls. Lots of shopping malls. I hadn't realized how many. Let's Go Istanbul shows photos of a half-dozen or so, and descriptions of more.

And, there's a new one coming. "Trump, Dogan sign Istanbul real estate project deal" (Reuters (April 16, 2008)) and "Trump Towers for Istanbul" (The New Anatolian (April 20, 2008)) will put a complex with two towers and a giant shopping mall in Istanbul by 2010.

A picture of the project: "Trump Towers 1" (Emporis).
