Down the Beyoglu district, on the banks of the Bosphorus and just in front of Old Town are the neighborhoods Karaköy and Tophane, two neighborhoods that besides being among the oldest of Istanbul are also among the most interesting to discover.

Karaköy is located right in front of the old town, near the Galata Bridge and down the famous Tower of the same name. It covers an area from the banks of the Golden Horn to the Bosphorus. The first traces of urbanization dates back to the Byzantine Empire, it is therefore one of the most historical and important places of the city. It is still a condensed of Istanbul with different populations living close to each other.

As early as the 13th century its location gave him the primary role of the port and the commercial center of Constantinople. Populated at that time by the Genoese, the area is built on the model of an Italian city. The port grew rapidly and became one of the largest in Europe. He welcomed throughout its history different communities fleeing wars or other disasters, including the Jewish, Greek, or Russian. It was a commercial area, rich and very dynamic.

These communities have left an indelible architectural and religious heritage in this area. The presence of numerous churches and synagogues attests to this cosmopolitan past but also the freedoms guaranteed by the Sultans to the different religious groups.

After a long period of decline following the fall of the Ottoman Empire in 1923, the opening in 2004 of the Museum of Modern Art in the old docks has given life again to the neighborhood by radically transforming it to one of the cultural and artistic center of the city. The Istanbul Modern is a beautiful museum not to miss if you like contemporary art. The entrance is 15 TL, and is closed on Mondays. The museum’s restaurant is also very nice to eat on the Bosphorus shore (when there are no large cruise ships ahead of it)
