Üsküdar is a district on the Asian shore of the Bosphorus, directly across from central Istanbul's historic quarters, and has served as a conservative cultural center since Ottoman times. The Kız Kulesi, an iconic tower in the strait, and Beylerbeyi Sarayı, a former imperial palace, stand among its landmarks, alongside numerous mosques including the Mihrimah Sultan Camii. The district holds substantial appeal for those drawn to Ottoman architecture and religious heritage.
