EDITORS COMMENTS
"Evening Silhouette of Maidens Tower (Kyz Kulesi), also known as Leanders Tower, graces the skyline of the Bosphorus in Constantinople, Turkey. This iconic tower, located at Salacak, has been a landmark for centuries, serving as a lighthouse and a symbol of love and legend. Built during the Ottoman era, the tower's name is derived from the story of Leander and Hero, two lovers who were separated by the Bosphorus and communicated by signal fires from the tower. The tower's silhouette against the dusk sky is a breathtaking sight, with the setting sun casting an ethereal glow over the water. The tower's history is rich and varied. In the medieval Byzantine period, it was known as Leanders Tower, named after the legendary lover Leandros. In the 1930s, the tower was converted into a restaurant, offering visitors a unique dining experience with stunning views of the Bosphorus. However, the restaurant has since closed, leaving the tower empty once again. Despite its current state, Maidens Tower remains a beloved symbol of Istanbul and Turkey, drawing tourists from around the world who seek to capture its beauty and history. The tower's silhouette against the evening sky is a reminder of the enduring power of love and the passing of time." This photograph, taken in the 1930s, captures the timeless beauty of Maidens Tower in its evening glory. The lighting and the calm waters of the Bosphorus create a serene and romantic atmosphere, making this image a must-have for anyone who appreciates the history and culture of Turkey. The image also showcases the unique architecture of the tower, with its distinctive shape and intricate details, making it a standout addition to any collection. Maidens Tower, with its rich history and stunning beauty, continues to captivate visitors and inspire artists and photographers alike. This photograph is a testament to the enduring allure of this iconic landmark and the magic of the Bosphorus.
