Turkey's largest city, the gateway to the Orient, a crossroads of cultures, a bridge between Asia and Europe... it's all Istanbul. Tereza Říčanová looked with her painterly eye at the beauty of its palaces, churches and mosques, but also at the daily (and nightly) life in the local streets, squares and markets.
She saw a metropolis teeming with life, where the traces of great cultures and a long history intertwine with millions of human stories, and where the fabulous mysteries of the ancient Orient mingle with the exuberant modern civilization.
