Apart from the fact that many major sights of Christendom lie in Turkey (such as the Hagia Sophia), one of the religion’s oldest churches sits in modern-day Antakya. A cave in Antioch, believed to have been dug by the Apostle Peter himself as the very first Christian church, was later festooned with a beautiful stone façade by the Crusaders that still stands today.

Leonardo da Vinci was almost responsible for the Galata Bridge
Between 1502 and 1503, Sultan Beyazid II solicited Leonardo da Vinci to design a bridge that would span the Golden Horn. Following the three geometric principles of the pressed-bow, parabolic curve and keystone arch, da Vinci’s design would have been the world’s longest bridge at that time, but the sultan did not approve it.
