X Before the Yenikapı excavation, the city's 4 thousand-year history was mentioned. But 8 emerged from an annual trace of the thousand 500. This history of Istanbul is very important in terms of history of culture and civilization. We have completed the works in Yenikapı with very meticulous work under the supervision of our Directorate of Archeology and Museums in Yenikapı and Istanbul University. The project that will make Yenikapı a Museum Station is currently in the tender phase. This is very exciting, I believe, will be an important destination for tourism. They're similar in different parts of the world. But it's not as old as our history. We care about this. Bu

The archaeological excavation covers an area of ​​800 square meters. Here we work meticulously. 19 in layers. There are traces of the century and the present. But when we went down a little, we found the early iron age findings in 1200-800 before Christ. We see the traces of this. Bun

In the past, the Bosphorus in the form of an Golden Horn into the inner point of thinking that the right and this region may be a mouth of a stream voicing the topbas, said:

Iyor The topography makes this feel. We think that there might be a settlement in the style of a fishing village, not to the middle points of this bed, but to the bottom of the existing buildings. We see this at the edges of the Bosphorus. The tombs are found here and there are traces of the early iron age. There is a history in this part of Istanbul. Such a beautiful city, a city we can call heaven on earth, of course, could not have been discovered by civilizations in history. Surely people came and settled here and benefited from the beauty of this city. Traces of this have reached us. The findings here will give us important results. From the Ottoman period, we see the rails of the old tram depot in the upper layer. There are tomb layers below. There are wells drilled in the Ottoman period at one point. Nok

Passing through 8 districts KabataşWe estimate that once the Mahmutbey Metro is completed, one million passengers can use it per day. This is a very important main spine metro line. This line has a continuation. Kabataşwill go to Karaköy direction and become connected to Şişhane Station. from mahmutbey Halkalı will go in the direction. Some of the related studies are at the tender stage. KabataşTunnel excavations of Mahmutbey Metro Line were completed on a scale of 82,5 percent. Our work underground continues intensively. ”

Topbaş stated that he wanted the Directorate of Archeology and Museums from 7-24 to finish this excavation until the end of this year. Im The dig ends so that we can start making our subway station here. If the excavation is prolonged, delays occur in the metro line. As an architect and art historian, I don't think there will be different things in the lower levels. I'm guessing there's nothing else going on, even deeper, because it's a brook up to Yıldız Avenue. If it does, of course, we call our fate, our excuse and the memory of the city. Çık
