An 11th-Century Building in Istanbul Reflects Three Eras
In Sultanahmet, a historic building that embodies the architectural features of three different periods stands out. The mega city of Istanbul, in addition to its modern structures, also hosts historical buildings inherited from various civilizations that lived in the area. These buildings, particularly concentrated in the area known as “old Istanbul,” stretching from Sarayburnu to Edirnekap?, are visually distinct from their surroundings.
One such historic building in Sultanahmet is a three-story structure built on an 11th-century Byzantine cistern. This privately owned building displays architectural characteristics from the Byzantine, Ottoman, and Republic periods.
