Heartbeats of a city

looking down Istiklal Avenue formerly known as Grande Rue de Pera
where crowds endlessly stroll
and the nostalgic tram runs along
in the historic Beyoglu district
you’ll find it useful if your feet are tired while walking Beyoglu’s main shopping and dining avenue
lovely facades
St. Anthony of Padua run by Italian priests
wrought iron laced balconies
twelve in a row
side streets


the avenue was a popular spot for Ottoman intellectuals
also becoming a center for European foreigners and the local Italian and French Levantines
chit-chatting on Istiklal

Taksim Square
a favourite location for public events
graffiti
and street food
