In today’s world, where cultural assets are accepted as the common heritage of the whole world, efforts in this field are activities that bring together national and international individuals, societies, civil or official organizations and have peaceful aims. The cultural assets in our country constitute an important accumulation in terms of world heritage. In particular, Istanbul, which has been a settlement point since ancient times and has been the capital of three great empires such as Roman, Byzantine and Ottoman, is a very comprehensive research area. Today, every conceptual or applied study carried out on the city adds a new one to the cultural assets in Istanbul and reveals important data in terms of world history.
