The iconic structures of the Bosphorus, which are part of our cultural heritage and shed light on the centuries-old history of the city, along with the first Ottoman neighborhoods established around them, hold a significant place in the urban history of Istanbul not only in terms of the settlement policies of that era but also for their architectural and cultural values.

The Turkish Turing and Automobile Association is proud and delighted to publish this book on the Fortresses and Neighborhoods, which is the first of its kind and supported by invaluable documents and photographs. This work, serving as a significant resource in terms of Istanbul's urban and architectural history, is hoped to win the appreciation of our valued readers.
