What's Hiding Behind Okmeydanı's Brutalist Facade?

Описание: Okmeydanı, Istanbul has more to offer than you might think. Istanbul’s neighborhood of Okmeydanı is a mosaic of Ottoman traditions and modern developments. Initially known for its significance in archery, Okmeydanı later became home to various historical landmarks, like the Piyalepaşa Mosque and the Darülaceze complex. As well as some understated historical charm, Okmeydanı also boasts the bizarre Perpa Trade Center, a bustling commercial hub, and Polat Piyalepaşa Çarşı, a contemporary shopping mall.
