The Mediterranean Basin has been the cradle of world civilization since the first settlements

in Jericho in 9000 BC. Known in English and the romance languages as the sea between the lands, the Mediterranean goes and has gone by many names: Our Sea, for the Romans, the White Sea for the Turks, the Great Sea for the Jews, the Middle Sea for the Germans ,and the Great Green for the ancient Egyptians. 

The Mediterranean Sea is a symbol of creativity, of the search for the meaning of life and for wisdom, and of the love of people and nature. This sea has always been an environment that has bred outstanding people who have made remarkable contributions to the development of history in philosophy, art, music, literature, science, and technology. Magnificent civilizations have scattered all around the Basin, from east to west, from north to south, from Mesopotamia to Egypt, from Anatolia, Troy to Macedonia, from the Greek city states to Phoenician civilization, from Carthage to Rome, from Baghdad to Al-Andalus, from Byzantium to the Ottoman Empire and from Alexandria to Bologna, and have formed a sound base for world civilizations.
