Theodosian Walls
The fifth-century land walls run for several kilometres from the Golden Horn to the Marmara coast. They form the western edge of the old city and one of the straightest lines on the map.

The map
About this Fatih map poster
Fatih covers almost the entire historic peninsula of Istanbul, and its outline is one of the most recognisable on any map. Water surrounds it on two sides: the curving inlet of the Golden Horn to the north and the Sea of Marmara to the south. They meet at the point where the Bosphorus opens. On the landward west, the Theodosian Walls run in a nearly straight line from shore to shore.
Inside this triangle the streets are dense and irregular. They were shaped by Byzantine and Ottoman layers and by the seven hills on which the old city was built. Great mosques such as the Süleymaniye crown several of the hilltops. Hagia Sophia, the Blue Mosque and Topkapı Palace occupy the tip of the peninsula, and the Grand Bazaar forms a covered maze near the centre.
The district is named after Mehmed the Conqueror, known in Turkish as Fatih, who took the city in 1453. A Fatih map poster shows its fine-grained street pattern set against open water. Bridges such as the Galata and Atatürk reach across the Golden Horn toward Beyoğlu, and ferry piers line the shore.

Sarayburnu point
At the tip of the peninsula, Topkapı Palace and Gülhane Park form a green, open headland where the Golden Horn, the Bosphorus and the Sea of Marmara meet.
Valens Aqueduct
The Roman aqueduct crosses a valley between two of the city's hills. A major boulevard passes beneath it, and its long straight line is easy to see in the street pattern.

Why Fatih
A map that means something
Few places hold as much history per square kilometre as Fatih, and its shape, a peninsula held between two waters and a wall, makes a striking poster. It suits anyone who has lived in Istanbul, returned to it often or still remembers a first walk across the Galata Bridge. You can change the title, subtitle and coordinates.
Choose from Classic black and white, Noir, Paper, Blueprint and Sand. Noir gives the dense streets a dark, dramatic setting, while Paper keeps them light and archival. Printed posters on matte paper ship from partners in more than 30 countries, or download the HD files for $9.
