Content:
The building activities, which started with embassy buildings after Tanzimat, has many interesting actors such as Fossati and Laurecisque. The architects, who were originally Levantine Italians such as Stampa, Barborini and Semprini, gradually diversified with the participation of architects from Armenian or Greek communities such as Aznavour and Kambanakis, who were educated in Paris or Rome.
While Tepebaşı - İstiklal Caddesi transformed into the European entertainment center of the Ottoman capital with its cafes and theaters, it also turned into a showcase of the architectural styles and movements of the period. We have basic information about many, if not all, architects such as Karakaş brothers, Kyriakides and Novokosmos who used many styles from Neo-classical and Neo-baroque to Art Nouveau. As the researches evolve, the stories of architetcs are included into the Picture and story of Beyoğlu .
