EDITORS COMMENTS
Eyoub Cemetery, also known as Ayasofya Eyüp Sultan Mezarlığı in Turkish, is a historic cemetery located in the Eyüp district of Istanbul, Turkey. Established in the 15th century, the cemetery holds great significance in both Turkish and Islamic history. It is believed that the site was the burial place of Abu Ayyub al-Ansari, a companion of Prophet Muhammad, and has been a place of pilgrimage for Muslims ever since. In this evocative photograph, a lady is seen leaving the cemetery, her figure framed by the towering grave stones and the ancient walls of Eyoub. The cemetery, filled with the sounds of birdsong and the gentle rustling of leaves, is a peaceful and serene place, a stark contrast to the bustling city of Istanbul that surrounds it. The grave stones, some adorned with intricate Islamic calligraphy and others with simple crosses, bear testament to the rich history and cultural diversity of the city. The graves date back to various periods, from the Ottoman Empire to the modern era, reflecting the changing political and social landscape of Istanbul over the centuries. Eyoub Cemetery is not only a place of religious significance but also a reminder of the city's complex and fascinating history. It is a must-visit destination for anyone interested in exploring the cultural and historical heritage of Istanbul and Turkey as a whole. This photograph captures the essence of Eyoub Cemetery - a place of tranquility, reflection, and historical importance. The lady, with her back turned to the camera, adds a sense of mystery and intrigue, inviting the viewer to imagine the stories and memories that lie within the walls of this ancient and hallowed place.
