EDITORS COMMENTS
Kandilli: A Hidden Gem on the Banks of Bosphorus in Istanbul, Turkey (circa 1907) Nestled on the Asian bank of the Bosphorus in Uskudar, Istanbul, Turkey, lies the picturesque neighborhood of Kandilli. This historic district, once part of the vast Ottoman Empire, is a tranquil retreat from the bustling city, offering a glimpse into the rich history and natural beauty of Istanbul. The photograph captures the stunning view of Kandilli from the waterfront, with the edge of the neighborhood nestled against the Bosphorus coast. The lush in-city forests, a characteristic feature of Kandilli, can be seen in the background, providing a stark contrast to the bustling cityscape beyond. The neighborhood's close proximity to the waterfront has made it a popular residential area since ancient times, with many historic houses and mansions lining the coast. Kandilli's history dates back to the Byzantine and Ottoman periods, with many historic sites and landmarks located within its borders. One of the most notable is the Kandilli Observatory and Earthquake Research Institute, which was established in 1872 and is still in operation today. The institute is home to a rich collection of seismic data and is a testament to the scientific and intellectual heritage of Istanbul. Despite its rich history and natural beauty, Kandilli remains a relatively undiscovered gem for many visitors to Istanbul. The neighborhood offers a peaceful respite from the hustle and bustle of the city, with its winding streets, historic houses, and lush forests providing a serene and picturesque backdrop. Whether you're a history buff, nature lover, or simply looking for a unique and authentic experience in Istanbul, Kandilli is a must-visit destination.
