Istanbul’s initiative to preserve its cultural essence | |
Istanbul’s central Fatih district, the dome-topped turret of Bulgur Palas once remained hidden behind high walls, a century-old mansion steeped in history. Recently restored and reopened as a cultural hub in February 2024, it now offers panoramic views of the Marmara Sea, the city’s minaret-dotted historical peninsula, and the distant skyscraper-filled business district. This transformation is part of a broader initiative in Istanbul, where numerous previously inaccessible sites—from Byzantine-era fortifications to late-Ottoman factories—have been unveiled to the public over the past five years. These efforts reveal layers of history and culture in a city that draws millions of visitors annually, showcasing Istanbul’s rich tapestry beyond its well-known landmarks. | |
