Sancaktepe, Administrative district in Asian side of Istanbul, Turkey.

Sancaktepe spans across 63 square kilometers with a population of 489,848 residents, featuring residential areas, commercial zones, and educational institutions throughout its territory.

The district emerged in 2008 through the consolidation of territories from Kartal and Ümraniye districts, followed by the 2013 integration of rural areas into the municipality.

The district contains nineteen neighborhoods, including Abdurrahmangazi and Akpınar, where residents participate in traditional markets selling local products and regional specialties.

The district connects to central Istanbul through multiple transportation options and houses essential facilities like the Sancaktepe Stadium and Prof. Dr. Feriha Öz Emergency Hospital.

Sancaktepe preserves the Damatris Summer Palace, constructed during the Byzantine period by Emperor Tiberius Konstantinos and Maurice, marking the oldest structure in the district.
