Üsküdar, Administrative district on the Asian shore of Istanbul, Turkey
Üsküdar extends along the eastern banks of the Bosporus Strait, featuring wooden houses, white minarets, and cypress trees across its hillside landscape.
The district, formerly known as Chrysopolis, served as a collection point for ship tolls during ancient times before becoming an Ottoman military base.
The district contains numerous mosques, including the Mihrimah Mosque built in 1548, which represents the architectural mastery of Ottoman design and engineering.
The area connects to central Istanbul through regular ferry services, metro lines, and buses, making it accessible for both residents and visitors.
The Büyük Mezaristan cemetery holds 8,000 British soldiers from the Crimean War, marking a significant connection between Turkish and British history.
