The district
Beyoğlu covers the high ground north of the Golden Horn, where the land rises steeply from the water to a long ridge. The streets follow that terrain. Short, steep lanes and stairways drop down towards Karaköy and the Bosphorus shore, while the main avenue runs along the top. On the map, the district looks like a spine with ribs.
That spine is İstiklal Avenue, a pedestrian street about a kilometre and a half long. It links Taksim Square at the northern end to Tünel near the Galata Tower. A red heritage tram runs along it. At the southern end, the Tünel funicular, opened in 1875, carries passengers down the slope to Karaköy and is one of the oldest underground railways in the world.
Once known as Pera, the district was home to embassies, merchants and a large non-Muslim population in the late Ottoman period. Many of its apartment buildings and arcades date from that time. A Beyoğlu map poster shows how steep ground, a single strong avenue and two bodies of water shaped one of Istanbul's most distinctive districts.
The pedestrian avenue from Taksim to Tünel follows the ridge in a long, slightly curving line. It is the clearest single stroke on the map.
The medieval stone tower stands on the southern slope above Karaköy. It marks the point where the district begins its descent to the Golden Horn.
Short, steep streets and flights of steps connect the ridge to the waterfront, giving the map a dense, fine-grained texture on its southern and eastern edges.

Why Beyoğlu
Beyoğlu is where many people lived their Istanbul years, whether as students, new arrivals or night owls. A map of its ridge and slopes holds those streets together more faithfully than any photograph.
