Kuzguncuk, Historic neighborhood on the Asian shore of Bosphorus, Turkey.
Kuzguncuk stretches along the Bosphorus waterfront with traditional wooden houses painted in different colors and narrow streets lined with local shops.
The area transformed from a fishing village into a multicultural settlement when Jews from Spain and Portugal established their community there in the late 15th century.
Religious buildings including the Beth Ya'akov Synagogue from 1878, Surp Krikor Lusavoriç Church from 1861, and Üryanizade Mosque stand near each other.
The main street, İcadiye, contains numerous cafes, restaurants, bookstores, and small shops that maintain the neighborhood's traditional commercial character.
The neighborhood operates without a police station due to its consistently low crime rate, demonstrating the strong community bonds among residents.
