1. Title: "Beyezit Square, Istanbul, Turkey - A Glimpse into the Rich History of Constantinople and the Ottoman Empire" 2.. This photograph, taken in 1927, showcases Beyezit Square in Istanbul, Turkey, a city that straddles Europe and Asia. The image reveals the grandeur and historical significance of the area, which was once the heart of the Ottoman Empire. 3. In the foreground, the iconic Beyezit Tower (Beyazit Kulesi) stands tall, its distinctive octagonal shape and red-tiled roof making it a striking landmark. This Ottoman-era tower was originally a part of the Seraskier (Seraskerat, Seras, or Kierat) - the Ottoman military headquarters. 4. The archway entrance to the University of Istanbul (Beyazid Devlet Universitesi) can be seen in the background. Established in 1863, the university is one of the oldest and most prestigious institutions in Turkey. 5. The Seraskier building, which housed the Ottoman Ministry of War, is situated to the left of the tower. The imposing structure, with its intricate architectural details, is a testament to the Ottoman Empire's architectural prowess. 6. Theodosius Forum (Forum Tauri) is located to the right of the tower. This ancient Roman marketplace, which dates back to the 4th century, is a reminder of the city's rich history as Constantinople, the Roman Empire's Eastern capital. 7. Max Fruchtermann, a renowned German photographer, captured this moment in time, preserving the essence of Istanbul's past for future generations to appreciate. This photograph is a beautiful representation of the city's complex history, blending elements of the Ottoman, Roman, and modern worlds. 8. The image is part of the Mary Evans / Grenville Collins Postcard Collection from Mary Evans Prints Online, a valuable resource for historians, researchers, and anyone interested in the history of Istanbul and the Ottoman Empire.
