Turkey: The Heritage of the Land

Turkey - The Heritage of the Land offers a glimpse of a regional history that spans over two thousand years beginning with the early years of Christianity. It brings into focus with a collage of awe inspiring colour photographs the topography of a land over which many civilizations clashed for supremacy. Greeks from the time of Alexander the Great, Romans, Persians, Byzantines, Armenians, Arabs and Turks alike, all crisscrossed this land and left their indelible mark in the cities, towns and villages which had once served as the backbone of early Christianity. The land of modern Turkey is a culmination of a long history of nation building that like many human endeavours has in its wake instilled pride and prejudices in the hearts of the inhabitants of the land. Today we witness the spirit of their architectural legacy that embodied their faith in the eternal power of religion.
