Zeytinburnu, District and municipality of Istanbul, Turkey

Located on the European side of Istanbul, Zeytinburnu stretches along the Marmara Sea coast, directly outside the ancient city walls of Constantinople.

During the Byzantine period, this area functioned as a fortress named Kyklobion, serving as a landing site for Arab armies during their attacks on Constantinople in 674 and 717.

The district contains multiple ethnic communities, including Kazakhs and Turkmens who maintain their traditions while contributing significantly to the local textile industry.

The transportation network includes metro lines, trams, Marmaray rail, maritime transport, and numerous bus routes connecting to all parts of Istanbul.

The Olivium Outlet Center, established in 2000, functions as the primary commercial hub with specialized shops offering factory surplus merchandise to residents.
