Dvakrát bylo obléháno Turky, obsazeno Napoleonovými vojáky a ve dvacátém století ovládnuto Hitlerem a poničeno spojeneckými letadly. Všechny historické peripetie ale přežilo a dnes je blahobytným velkoměstem s neuvěřitelným množstvím historických památek a bohatým kulturním, ale také rušným společenským životem.
