III. Ahmet Fountain
III. Ahmet Fountain

Sogukcesme Street;
This narrow street running between the walls of Topkapi Palace and Ayasofya in Istanbul was completely renovated by the Turkish Touring and Automobile Association ("Turing") under the leadership of its longtime chairman, Mr Çelik Gülersoy.
The houses along the street now comprise an Ottoman-style inn called the Ayasofya Pansiyonlari operated by Turing.
The houses are built right against the Topkapi Palace wall and look directly onto the great bulk of Ayasofya. Çelik Bey had difficulty obtaining official permission from the city government to undertake his project. He once told me:
"They said it wasn't right to build houses against the palace wall. They said the old houses should be torn down and not replaced. 'You'd never find houses against the palace wall in London or Paris,' they said.
"I told them, 'That's what is so wonderful about Istanbul! People built houses right up against the sultan's palace!'
"They finally agreed to let me restore the houses."
The entrance of the street

Evler, Yaseminli Ev, Mor Salkımlı Ev, Hanımeli Ev gibi adlarını etrafına dikilen çiçeklerden almıştır. Evlerden birinde Rahmetli Çelik Gülersoy’un şahsi kütüphanesi olan kitaplık bulunmakta.

The Zeynep Sultan Mosque (in Turkish Zeynep Sultan Camii) is a mosque built in 1769 by Ayazma Mosque's architect Mehmet Tahir Ağa for Ahmed III's daughter Zeynep Asıme Sultan. It evokes Byzantine churches because of its architectural style and materials that were used in its construction
