Büyükçekmece, Administrative district in Istanbul, Turkey
Located on the European side of Istanbul, Büyükçekmece extends along 26 kilometers of the Marmara Sea coastline and includes a major freshwater lake.
The area, formerly called Athyras, changed ownership multiple times through centuries as armies moved toward the Bosphorus, with Attila the Hun capturing it in 443 AD.
The Kulturpark, built on 200,000 square meters, contains Ottoman architectural elements including a bridge, caravanserai, mosques, and a museum displaying regional heritage.
The TÜYAP Exhibition Center provides 42,000 square meters of space across multiple halls for trade shows, conferences, and international business events.
The Mimar Sinan Bridge consists of four separate structures spanning 635 meters, connecting the Marmara Sea to Büyükçekmece Lake since 1567.
