Trabzon's Enchanting Cale-itchi Quarter: A Glimpse into Turkey's Rich History This evocative photograph captures the charm and allure of Trabzon's Cale-itchi Quarter, a historic district nestled along the picturesque Black Sea coast in north-eastern Turkey. Trabzon, the capital city of Trabzon Province, has a long and illustrious history, having been located on the historic Silk Road route. During the Ottoman period, Trabzon's importance as a major port made it a focal point of trade with Iran, India, and the Caucasus. The image reveals a narrow, winding road that leads through the heart of the quarter, flanked by colorful houses with red-tiled roofs and adorned with intricate scripts. The tranquil waters of the Black Sea can be seen in the background, providing a serene contrast to the bustling activity of the quarter. The cypress tree in the foreground adds a touch of greenery and a sense of timelessness to the scene. The minaret of a mosque can be seen in the distance, a reminder of the city's rich Islamic heritage. The trapezium-shaped city of Trabzon, also known as Trebizond or Trebizonde, has a unique architectural style, with many buildings featuring ornate designs and intricate details. The quarter's name, Cale-itchi, is derived from the Greek word for market, reflecting the area's long history of commerce and trade. This photograph, taken in 1907, offers a glimpse into the past, transporting us back in time to an era of bustling markets, exotic spices, and the clatter of merchants haggling over goods. The image is a testament to the enduring beauty and history of Trabzon, a city that continues to captivate visitors from around the world.
