Kemerburgaz, Residential district in Eyüpsultan, Turkey

Kemerburgaz lies in the southwestern part of Belgrad Forest, between the Kurt Kemeri and Uzun Kemer aqueducts in Istanbul's Eyüpsultan district.

During the Byzantine period until 1453, the area was named Pyrgos, meaning tower, and later transformed to Burgaz after the Ottoman conquest.

The neighborhood maintains strong connections to its Turkish heritage through local mosques, including the Kemerburgaz Mosque, Mimar Sinan Mosque, and Hüseyin Şahin Mosque.

Transportation networks connect Kemerburgaz to surrounding areas through regular bus services, minibuses, and metro lines for convenient access to central Istanbul.

Galatasaray Sports Club initiated construction of the Metin Oktay facilities in Kemerburgaz during 2022, with groundbreaking ceremonies held in May 2023.
