APPROACH

Topkapi, one of Istanbul's key transportation hubs, benefits from a convergence of several public transportation routes.

Topkapi is a neighborhood adjacent to the Theodosian Walls built in the 5th Century AD. After the walls became unnecessary, the moats were filled eventually with soil and used as farmland. In the 1950’s rapid expansion of the city, the area transformed into a more urban setting, however kept the moats as market gardens.
