Constantinople Istanbul Kadikoy Waterfront Cadi Ottoman
EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, taken in 1904, showcases the vibrant waterfront of Kadikoy, located on the Asian side of the Sea of Marmara in Istanbul, Turkey. Kadikoy holds a rich historical significance, as it was once the capital city of the Roman Empire between 330-395 AD, known as Byzantium. During this period, Byzantium was considered the world center of civilization for an impressive 600 years. Later, the city was known as Constantinople and served as the capital of the Eastern Roman Empire, or Byzantine Empire, until its conquest by the Ottomans in 1453. In the early 1900s, the city was officially renamed Istanbul following the declaration of the Turkish Republic in the 1920s. Throughout history, all business in Constantinople has been intricately linked to the Bosphorus, the strait that divides the European side of the city from the Asian side, including the bustling port of Kadikoy. Today, Istanbul is the third largest city in the world, with a population in excess of 11 million, making it the only metropolis in the world situated on two continents. The photograph captures the essence of the waterfront's rich history, with the traditional wooden boats and the Cadi Keuy Mosque in the background, which dates back to the late 18th century. The image offers a glimpse into the past, showcasing the unique blend of cultures, traditions, and history that make Istanbul a truly extraordinary city.
