This unique sea route separating the Asian and European continents is a waterway adjacent to the Asian and European coasts. Due to this unique feature, it has been a center of attraction throughout history. Due to its magnificent view, nature, and strategic importance, many historical iconic structures were built on both shores of the Bosphorus. The traces of many historical buildings belonging to the Byzantine and Ottoman periods date back to the present day. Galata Tower, Maiden's Tower, Dolmabahçe Palace, Topkapı Palace, Orta Village, Çırağan Palace, Rumeli Fortress, Anadolu Fortress, Küçüksu Pavilion, Beylerbeyi Palace and many historical mansions are some of them.
