About Nisantasi
Nişantaşı is a residential quarter in the Şişli district on the European side of Istanbul, Turkey.
Nişantaşı quarter has four neighbourhoods: Teşvikiye, Maçka, Osmanbey and Pangaltı. The
centre of the Nişantaşı quarter is at the neighbourhood of Teşvikiye, which is separated from
the neighbourhood of Osmanbey to the west by the Vali Konağı Avenue and Rumeli Avenue.
Osmanbey is separated from the Pangaltı neighbourhood further to the west by the busy
Halaskargazi Avenue in Şişli. The neighbourhood of Maçka is immediately to the south of
Teşvikiye. Nişantaşı is a popular shopping quarter, full of boutiques, department
stores, cafés, pubs, restaurants and night clubs. Many of the streets are still full of fine 19th
and early 20th-century apartment blocks. Directly to the south lies the large and
wooded Maçka Park, and to the east the Beşiktaş district.
Nişantaşı provides the backdrop for several novels by Nobel laureate Turkish novelist Orhan
Pamuk, a local resident for many years. Journalist Ece Temelkuran compared the
neighbourhood to Greenwich Village, Manhattan.
The nearest metro stop to the central part of the Nişantaşı quarter is the Osmanbey metro station on the M2 line. Many bus and dolmuş services plough up and down Halaskargazi
Avenue, linking Nişantaşı to Taksim and Mecidiyeköy.
History In the middle of the 19th century, Nişantaşı was established by Ottoman Sultan Abdülmecid
I who erected a pair of small obelisks to define the extents of the new quarter. It was
Abdülmecid I who ordered the construction of the Neo-Classical Teşvikiye Police Station and
the Neo-Baroque Teşvikiye Mosque to create a proper quarter,
encouraging Constantinopolitans to settle in the area (hence the name Teşvikiye which means
"Encouragement" in Ottoman Turkish).
The word Nişantaşı (nişan taşı) means "target stone" or more precisely "aiming stone"
in Turkish. Target (aiming) stones were erected in the Ottoman period to mark the records of
Ottoman archers, including sultans. Shaped either as small obelisks or columns with Ottoman
Turkish inscriptions on them, some of these target stones still serve as monuments to
Nişantaşı's past, their inscriptions recording when a particular arrow was shot and by whom,
as well as recording the distance it flew.
Following the Balkan Wars of 1912–1913, many Turks from Macedonia,
especially Thessaloniki (Selânik, which was an Ottoman metropolis until 1912) settled in the
Nişantaşı quarter of Istanbul, including the family of the famous Turkish poet Nâzım Hikmet.
Apart from the Turks, the quarter also had
sizeable Greek, Jewish, Armenian and Levantine communities.
In 1923 many Dönme moved to the area from Thessaloniki after the Greek-Turkish population
exchange. Arriving in Nişantaşı, they started to live in the abandoned Greek houses and
apartment flats. A few of their descendants still live in Nişantaşı, where they are a tightly knit
community.[citation needed]
Attractions
On Vali Konağı Avenue stands the house of Turkish architect Vedat Tek, designed and built by
himself in 1913–14. Its facade displays many of the features of the First National
Architecture style, with which he was associated, including thick lancet windows, tiled panels
and protruding Seljuk style stone roundels.
Built in 1853 on the site of an older mosque, the elegant Tesvikye Mosque was once
associated with the Dönmes who had arrived from Salonica (now Thessaloniki) during
the 1923 population exchange between Greece and Turkey. The founder of Atlantic
Records, Ahmet Ertegun's funeral was held here in 2006. Two target (aiming) stones (nişan
taşı) for archery, dating back to the late 18th and early 19th centuries, stand inside the
mosque's courtyard. There are numerous other aiming stones within the quarter; one of the
most renowned examples, named Anıt Taş and shaped as a small obelisk, is located at the
corner between Teşvikiye Avenue and Vali Konağı Avenue.
In 1979, Abdi İpekçi, the editor-in-chief of the daily newspaper Milliyet (which was back then
owned by the Karacan family and reflected Kemalist, secularist and centre-left views), was
shot and killed near Teşvikiye Mosque by Mehmet Ali Ağca, the man who went on to shoot
at Pope John Paul II in 1981. A memorial statue marks the spot where Abdi İpekçi was killed.
He was the cousin of both İsmail Cem İpekçi (who served as the Minister of Culture and
Tourism in 1995 and Minister of Foreign Affairs between 1997 and 2002) and Cemil İpekçi (a
renowned Turkish fashion designer).
The Park Hyatt Hotel is housed in the Maçka Palas building which started life as an apartment
block designed by Giulio Mongeri in 1922. In different periods, it was inhabited by the third
Turkish president Celâl Bayar, the poet and politician Abdülhak Hamid Tarhan and Turgay
Şeren, a goalkeeper for the Galatasaray football team.
Educational Facilities
Maçka Technical High School (Maçka Teknik Lisesi) was originally designed by Giulio
Mongeri and constructed by the Italians to serve as their country's new embassy in
Istanbul.[4] However, when Ankara became Turkey's new capital in 1923, it was donated to the
Turkish Republic. Construction works were not completed until 1970, when it was turned into
a technical high school.[4]
There are three public primary schools on Nişantaşı Avenue (Nilüfer Hatun Primary School,
Sait Çiftçi Primary School, and Maçka Primary School) and two public high schools (Rüştü Uzel
High School, Nuri Akın High School).
The prestigious Feyziye Mektepleri Vakfı Işık Okulları (Feyziye Schools Foundation Işık Private
Schools) is a private school incorporating a kindergarten, primary school and high school . It
was established in 1885 as the Şemsi Efendi Primary School in the Ottoman city
of Selânik (Mustafa Kemal Atatürk, the founder and first President of the Republic of Turkey,
was a student of the Şemsi Efendi Primary School.)
Several faculty buildings of Istanbul Technical University (ITU) and Marmara University are
also located here. The ITU is housed in what was once the Maçka Barracks designed by
members of the Balyan family of architects.
