BEYOGLU BACKSTREETS

Istanbul, Turkey

Orhan Pamuk's Nobel-winning literature so often finds its characters on the backstreets of Istanbul.

Unfortunately, a lot of the old backstreets are being replaced with modern development.

We stumbled across this grand old vacant building just a few paces from İstiklâl Caddesi, the pedestrian spine that connects Karikoy to Taksim.

Hopefully, it will be renovated and re-energized...rather than stripped and razed.
