FENER AND BALAT

ISTANBUL, TURKEY


The same is happening just to the north in Balat, Istanbul’s Jewish quarter since the Byzantine era. 

Many people left in the mid-20th century and many Ottoman homes fell into disrepair.

And then, from 2003, the city and European Union instituted a renovation programme for Balat and Fener, repairing many of the dilapidated buildings.
