Constantinople Istanbul Stefano
EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, taken in the 1910s, transports us back in time to the vibrant and bustling Station Street in Yesilkoy, Istanbul, then known as San Stefano. Yesilkoy, now a modern and bustling district, is today home to Istanbul's International Airport. In this image, we see a lively scene of horse-drawn carriages and pedestrians making their way along the cobblestone street, surrounded by colorful buildings with intricate architectural details. The station, a grand edifice with a red-tiled roof and ornate arches, looms in the background, a testament to the region's rich history and cultural significance. Yesilkoy, located on the European side of Istanbul, was once a popular residential area for European diplomats and consuls, as well as a hub for commerce and trade. The area's name, which translates to 'green village,' is believed to have originated from the lush gardens and vineyards that once covered the area. The photograph captures the essence of a bygone era, a time when horse-drawn carriages and pedestrians shared the streets with the latest in transportation technology - the train. The train station, a symbol of modernity and progress, connected Yesilkoy to the rest of the city and the world beyond, making it an essential part of the region's transportation network. Today, Yesilkoy continues to be an important transportation hub, serving as Istanbul's gateway to the world. As we gaze at this photograph, we are reminded of the rich history and cultural significance of this fascinating city and its enduring connection to the past and the present.
