The 40 Sacred Sites of Istanbul

“The 40 Sacred Places of Istanbul” is a special book that brings together buildings and locations in Istanbul whose sanctity has continued for millennia in some cases, and for centuries in others. As the first book written on this subject, it takes readers on a journey into the sacred connections of 40 sites and places. Since when, and why, are they considered sacred? Do they hold mysteries? Focusing on these questions, the authors, Dr. Murat Sav and Erhan Altunay, examine the unity of city and belief in Istanbul.

The structures and places many of us frequently visit or pass by have never been viewed from this perspective. The book, which will spark your curiosity and answer many questions, is also visually impressive. Prepared in both Turkish and English by Demirören Publishing, it awaits its readers.
