Kuzguncuk Bostanı

Kuzguncuk Bostanı appears as an open, flat expanse of greenery tucked between the neighborhood's dense, hillside houses. While the rest of the quarter is crowded with colorful wooden mansions and narrow streets, this space remains a low-lying patch of vegetables and fruit trees. The word bostan in Turkish identifies this as an urban orchard or vegetable garden, a site that once numbered in the hundreds across the city but has largely disappeared.
