1. Title: "A Glimpse of Buyukdere's Historical Charm: Traditional Ottoman Houses with Overhanging 'Cumbas' in Istanbul, Turkey" 2.. Step back in time as you wander down the picturesque streets of Buyukdere in Istanbul, Turkey. This photograph captures the historical charm of the area, with its traditional Ottoman houses displaying their distinctive upper rooms, known as 'Cumbas.' These unique architectural features were designed to catch any breath of air in the intense summer heat, making them an essential element of Istanbul's rich architectural heritage. The Cumbas, also referred to as 'Jumbas' or 'Jumbes,' are wooden structures that extend over the streets, creating a quaint valley-like effect. The tradition of placing a cushion for a cat in these upper rooms is still alive today, as many residents of Istanbul affectionately refer to their feline companions as 'Cumba.' This photograph offers a glimpse into the history and culture of Constantinople, now known as Istanbul. The Ottoman Empire's architectural influence is evident in the intricately designed houses, which showcase the empire's artistic and engineering prowess. The overhanging rooms not only served a practical purpose but also added to the aesthetic appeal of the neighborhood. As you explore the winding streets of Buyukdere, take a moment to appreciate the beauty and history of these traditional Ottoman houses. Their enduring presence is a testament to the rich cultural heritage of Istanbul and Turkey.
