Istanbul is the largest city in Turkey and rivals London as the most populous in Europe, with
15,067,724 inhabitants in its metropolitan area in 2018. The vast majority of the population is
Muslim, but there are also large numbers of lay people and a tiny minority of Christians and
Jews.
It is the capital of the metropolitan area (büyükşehir) and the province of Istanbul, which is
part of the Marmara region. In the past it was the administrative capital of the Province of
Istanbul, in the so-called Rumelia or East Thrace.
