Silivri, Administrative district along the Sea of Marmara, Turkey
Silivri extends across 858 square kilometers of coastal terrain, making it the second largest district within Istanbul Province, bordered by Büyükçekmece and Çatalca.
The settlement started as a Thracian colony before becoming a Greek settlement named Selymbria, later falling under Ottoman control in 1399 during Constantinople's encirclement.
The district maintains a strong connection to its maritime heritage through its 45-kilometer coastline, which influences local traditions and community activities throughout the year.
The area contains multiple healthcare facilities, including Silivri State Hospital, providing essential medical services to the population of over 217,000 residents.
A stone bridge commissioned by Suleiman the Magnificent in 1562 remains functional today, connecting different sections of this coastal municipality.
