Secret Istanbul

Secret


Istanbul

A horse's tomb that has become a place of pilgrimage, a tree held up by a pillar in the garden of a Sufi convent that would herald the end of the world if it fell down, Mustafa Kemal Atatürk's glass, a carpet that predicts the end of the Ottoman empire, fragments from the Black Stone of Mecca, the covering of a fountain from Pearl Harbor in the Pacific, a church under the protection of Muhammad, a synagogue that was a landmark for Ashkenazi Jews, a garment worn by the Prophet that was inadvertently ironed, a handful of hot ash that saved the Ottoman empire ...
Far from the crowds and the usual clichés, Istanbul is filled with hidden treasures revealed only to the residents and visitors who leave the beaten path.
An indispensable guide for those who thought they knew the city well or who would like to discover its many other facets.
