Çukurcuma, Vintage and antique district in Beyoğlu, Istanbul, Turkey.
The steep streets of Çukurcuma contain hundreds of antique shops, galleries, and vintage stores within 19th-century Ottoman buildings.
The neighborhood gained its name after Sultan Mehmed initiated Friday prayers in this valley following the 1453 conquest of Constantinople.
The Museum of Innocence, based on Orhan Pamuk's novel, displays objects from Istanbul's daily life through 83 installations.
The district lies southeast of İstiklal Avenue, with trams and buses connecting visitors from Taksim Square and other Istanbul locations.
Each building in Çukurcuma holds different antique collections, from Ottoman-era furniture to European art pieces and traditional Turkish crafts.
