Constantinople, Turkey - Muhurdar, Kadikoy: A Glimpse into the Past This evocative photograph captures the scenic waterfront of Muhurdar in Kadikoy, a historic district on the Asian side of Istanbul, Turkey. The image, estimated to date back to the 1910s, offers a captivating glimpse into the past, showcasing the timeless beauty and rich history of this vibrant city. The photograph features the picturesque Bosphorus Strait, a natural waterway that has played a crucial role in the history and development of Istanbul. The serene waters reflect the majestic silhouette of the Selimiye Barracks, a grand military complex built during the Ottoman Empire. The barracks, with its imposing architecture and intricate details, stand proudly against the backdrop of the skyline, a testament to the region's rich history and cultural heritage. To the left of the photograph, a traditional Turkish keui (wooden boat) is anchored, adding a touch of local charm to the scene. The keui, a common sight in the waters of the Bosphorus, has been a vital means of transportation for centuries. The photograph also reveals the bustling activity along the Muhurdar waterfront, with locals going about their daily routines. The scene is a beautiful blend of the old and the new, with traditional Turkish architecture coexisting harmoniously with modern buildings. This photograph is a treasure trove of history, offering a unique perspective into the past of Constantinople, now known as Istanbul, a city that continues to captivate and inspire visitors from around the world.
