EDITORS COMMENTS
Constantinople: The Forty Churches (Keurk Klica) - A Glimpse into the Multi-Religious Past of Istanbul in the Ottoman Era This 19th-century engraving, titled "The Forty Churches" or "Keurk Klica," offers a fascinating glimpse into the rich and complex history of Constantinople, now known as Istanbul. The image, produced during the Ottoman Empire's contemporary age, depicts a bustling urban landscape filled with churches, a testament to the city's diverse Christian population. Located on the European side of Istanbul, this area was once a thriving Christian community, home to approximately forty churches. The image reveals the architectural diversity of these places of worship, with their distinctive domes and bell towers, standing proudly amidst the cityscape. The intricate details of the engraving reveal the grandeur and beauty of these structures, which were an integral part of the city's religious and cultural fabric. The Ottoman Empire, known for its Islamic dominance, allowed religious freedom for its Christian subjects, making Istanbul a unique city where different faiths coexisted. This tolerance is reflected in the presence of numerous churches, mosques, and other places of worship. The minarets of mosques, such as the one visible in the background, are a stark contrast to the Christian churches, symbolizing the Islamic presence in the city. The coexistence of these religious structures is a testament to the multicultural and multi-religious character of Constantinople during the Ottoman era. This engraving, produced by renowned European engravers Lalaisse, Lemaitre, Vormser, and others, offers a valuable historical record of a bygone era. It invites us to reflect on the past and appreciate the religious and cultural diversity that once defined Constantinople, a city that continues to be a melting pot of different faiths and traditions.
