The tour focuses on the historic centre and its complex and often contradictory development as the result of a long and turbulent history. The tour presents key geographical, historical and socio-cultural facts needed for a comprehensive understanding of the city’s development, its architecture and urban structure, from antiquity to the present day, focusing on the mid 19th to mid 20th centuries as well as the modernisation process, during which the city underwent fundamental changes from a provincial Ottoman border town into a modern European capital.
