Maltepe, Administrative district on the Asian side of Istanbul, Turkey
Maltepe extends along 7 kilometers of Marmara Sea coastline and encompasses 18 neighborhoods within its 53 square kilometer territory.
The district emerged from the ancient Byzantine settlement of Bryas, where Emperor Theophilos constructed a palace inspired by Baghdad architecture in 837.
The Cumhuriyet Mosque stands as a central religious structure in Maltepe, incorporating traditional Turkish architectural elements with its rounded shape and four minarets.
The district connects to central Istanbul through multiple transportation options, including metro lines and the D-100 Highway that divides the area into three sections.
In 1992, Maltepe separated from Kartal district and established its independent administrative status through its first local election in 1994.
