EDITORS COMMENTS
This print of San Stefano Station in Constantinople, Turkey transports us back in time to a bygone era. Located on the picturesque Marmaris Sea, this historical train station is now known as Yesilkoy and is situated just 11km west of Istanbul's bustling city center.
Once a quaint village and sea resort, San Stefano Station holds a somber history as the final resting place for thousands of cholera-inflicted troops who perished during the Balkan War. The station gained its new name in 1926 as part of legislation that imposed Turkish names on communities throughout the country.
Famous for its Art Nouveau wooden houses, San Stefano Station was once a hub of activity with locomotives arriving and departing from its platforms. The tracks, carriages, and passengers all tell stories of journeys taken and memories made at this historic site.
Today, Yesilkoy is not only home to Istanbul's main airport but also serves as a reminder of the rich history that surrounds this area. This print captures the essence of a time long past when rail travel was king and San Stefano Station stood as a beacon of transportation along the stunning shores of Turkey's Marmaris Sea.
