About Istanbul, Taksim
Taksim is the symbolic centre of modern Istanbul — the central square and district of Beyoğlu on the European shore, whose İstiklal Caddesi (Independence Avenue, the 1.4km pedestrianised boulevard connecting Taksim Square to the Galata Tower, lined with 19th-century Levantine apartment buildings, consulates, cinemas, bookshops, restaurants and the famous Çiçek Pasajı arcade) is the most frequented street in Turkey, receiving 3 million pedestrians daily. Taksim Square — the Atatürk Cultural Centre (AKM), the Republic Monument (1928) and the enormous pedestrian plaza — is the symbolic heart of the modern Turkish Republic, the site of major national celebrations and political demonstrations.
The Beyoğlu district below Taksim — Galata, Karaköy, Cihangir and Galatasaray — constitutes Istanbul's most architecturally diverse and most culturally vibrant European quarter, its 19th-century Levantine buildings, Armenian and Greek churches, Ottoman hans (caravanserais), the Istanbul Modern (Turkey's leading modern art museum, 2023 reopening in its new Renzo Piano building on the Bosphorus), the Pera Museum and the Galata Tower (1348 CE, Genoese, the finest medieval tower in Istanbul) giving it a character of extraordinary historical layering. The Bosphorus panorama from the Galata Tower rooftop — the Golden Horn, the minarets of the old city, the Asian shore and the Sea of Marmara — is the most celebrated urban panorama in Turkey.
