Editorial responsibility: Elena Voss · Roavina Travel Editor

Zeytinburnu is a working-class district on the European shore of the Marmara Sea, just beyond the ancient city walls and the fortress of Yedikule. The Panorama 1453 Tarih Müzesi and Meryem Ana Rum Manastiri represent the area's historical and religious heritage, while Topkapı Şehir Parkı provides green space. The district's proximity to Istanbul's ancient fortifications makes it significant for those interested in the city's medieval past.
