Istanbul Turkey 2022 Taksim Square to Cihangir Neighbourhood Walking Tour 17 August | 4K UHD 60FPS

Описание: Taksim Square is located at Beyoglu district and is considered as the heart of the modern Istanbul. Many hotels and restaurants can be found here and on Istiklal Street, and underneath there is a bus terminal for public transportation, the main subway station and the funicular. The Square is also the gathering place for locals to celebrate New Year's Eve, parades and other gatherings.
Cihangir is a small neighborhood with its grocers, greengrocers, cafés, book stores, taxi drivers, plumbers and cats. It is the kind of a neighborhood where we used to play ball and run on its streets, our mothers calling our names from the windows and slip a piece of bread, cheese, apple, or tomato in our hands, and when it gets late, calling us home by saying “Come home, it is too late.”On the other hand, it is a “bohemian” zone where the painters, caricaturists, actors, writers, journalists, foreigners and minorities live. A “Bohemia”, where cinema, theater, literature, philosophy are discussed at countless corners, banquettes, alleys, cafes along the road and bistros. In late 19th century, Levantines used to live here, just like in Pera. In the 1920s and 1930s, Cihangir only consisted of two districts. In the 1940s and 50s, the people that were working at entertainment spots in Beyoğlu began to live in Cihangir. This led to the construction of luxurious buildings and the district became a settlement for well-endowed people. After the second half of the 90s, with the support of the public bodies and the efforts of the non-governmental organizations, the district gained its recent identity. The derelict houses of the district were reconstructed. When this chain of events merged with the beautiful scenery of the district, the rents began to rise and this had changed the identity of the residents. With the changing of the residents, Cihangir evolved slowly into a city apart from the city, a subculture which creates its own culture.One side of it maintained its small, cozy spirit, and the other side combined the bohemian aura brought by its residents and the traditional spirit of the district. This was so successfully done that neither the spirit of the district was damaged, nor the bohemian aura lost its taste. As in the Tünel district, people complain about these developments; about popularization of the district, rising rents, the traditional fabric being damaged; however, we should note that most of them are happy about this. It is not easy to find such “special” places that create their own culture.
The lexical meaning of the word “Cihangir” is “The person that captured the major part of the world”; however, it is weird that such an ambitious word is the name of this mild district. To find out the fact, we need to go back to the past, to Suleiman the Magnificent. Suleyman the Magnificent had a son from Hürrem Sultan, named Cihangir. For the memory of his son, who died young, Suleyman had a mosque constructed in this place that looked like a large rock protruding from the sea. The mosque that was constructed by Mimar Sinan between the years 1559 – 1560 and was named Şehzade Cihangir Mosque. This is how the district began to be called Cihangir.
