EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the breathtaking view of Istanbul's Haydar Pasa from the Asian side of the city, specifically from the district of Kadikoy. The image, taken in 1927, offers a glimpse into the rich history and cultural heritage of this magnificent city, which straddles Europe and Asia. Haydar Pasa, also known as Haider Pasha or Haidar Pasha, was a significant figure in the Ottoman Empire. He served as the Grand Vizier, or chief advisor, to Sultan Selim II from 1565 to 1574. The impressive structure in the photograph is the Haydar Pasa Mosque and Complex, which was built between 1580 and 1600, during the reign of Sultan Mehmed III. The complex includes the mosque, a madrasa, a hospice, a primary school, a public kitchen, and a public bath. The photograph, taken by Max Fruchtermann, showcases the architectural beauty of the mosque and its intricate details, including the elegant minarets and the intricately designed domes. The image also offers a glimpse of the bustling city below, with its narrow streets, traditional houses, and bustling markets. The photograph is a testament to the enduring charm of Istanbul, a city that has been a melting pot of cultures and civilizations for centuries. It invites us to explore the history and heritage of this remarkable city and to appreciate the beauty and complexity of its architectural and cultural landmarks.
