EDITORS COMMENTS
This image showcases the historic Aqueduct of Uzunkemer, an Ottoman architectural marvel located near the Belgrade Forest in Istanbul, Turkey. Completed in 1563, this aqueduct bridge is a significant component of the Kirkcesme Supply System's northern branch. The system was designed to distribute water from natural sources to Constantinople, now Istanbul, ensuring a reliable water supply for the growing Ottoman Empire. The Aqueduct of Uzunkemer is a testament to the advanced hydraulic engineering capabilities of the Ottomans during the 16th century. The bridge, depicted in this engraving by Lemaitre, Danvin, and Cholet, is a stunning example of Ottoman architecture. Its intricate design, featuring arches and tree-lined watercourses, has stood the test of time, providing a vital service to the city for centuries. The image, taken from the book "Historia de Turquia" by Joseph Marie Jouannin and Jules Van Gaver, published in 1840, offers a glimpse into the past. The trees and forest surrounding the aqueduct add to its picturesque beauty, making it an essential landmark in the rich history of Istanbul. The Ottoman Empire's hydraulic engineering achievements, such as the Aqueduct of Uzunkemer, continue to inspire awe and admiration, showcasing the ingenuity and resourcefulness of the Ottoman people.
