Eyup
Bird's eye view of the Golden Horn river
It is a settlement established in the southern part of the Golden Horn River on the European side of Istanbul. Immediately after the conquest of Istanbul, the first Ottoman-Turkish settlements started in the region. Eyüp district named after Hz. Eba Eyyub takes it from El-Ansari, whose grave is in this area. It is rumored that the tomb of this person who was martyred in the siege of Istanbul entered the dream of Akşemseddin and that the tomb was found on this occasion. A shrine is built on the tomb. During the reign of the Law, a lot of investments were made in the region, schools, madrasahs, mosques and masjids increased.
