As soon as I arrive in Istanbul for the second time...I'm going to live in this area, it's decided! Nice promenade, cozy places, not as noisy as in Sultanahmet district. Bookstore, coffee, seals, shops, mosque, everything you need is nearby.

You can walk along the streets, an interesting area. Go down to the marina and the embankment. Nearby there is a river station and a large bus stop.

One of the first symbols that comes to mind when we say Kadıköy. I didn't know if the nonsense of having a photo taken with a child sitting on it during the holiday alone was a custom. Its history is as follows: it is the Alsa-Loren region, which could not be shared between France and Germany in the 1800s, is the reason for Dec. This small but important region has been constantly changing hands between the French and Germans over the years. Dec. it was built in Paris in the 1860s to symbolize the war in which the French defeated the Germans in this region. It is the work of the sculptor Isidore Bonheure. With his anger and greatness, he symbolizes the power of the French, but it did not last long, Alsace-Loren was retaken by German general Bismarck at the Battle of Sedan in 1870. The 'power of the French' also goes to Germany. His rest in Germany will not last long either. The German emperor II. Due to their friendship, Wilhelm gave it to the Union and Progress Society in 1917, and the Union and Progress Society to Enver Pasha. The statue is placed in the garden of Enver Pasha's palace. 1. At the end of the World War II, Enver Pasha went abroad and the statue was forgotten in the garden of that palace. Not much, about 50 years later he moves to the garden of the Hilton Hotel. Then he is taken to the front of Lütfi Kırdar Congress and Exhibition Center, and then to Taksim Gezi Park. in the early 1970s, travel to the Anatolian side of Istanbul began. Of course, the first stop in Kadıköy is not Altıyol; after all, you are destined to travel. It remains in front of the Kadıköy Municipality for about 20 years. In the early 1990s, it moved to its current location.

Beautiful area of 6 roads. the reason why this statue was created in 1800 was the territory of Alsace and Lorraine, which could not be divided between France and Germany. This small but important region has been constantly changing hands between the French and the Germans for many years. The sculpture was built in Paris in 1864 by the French animalist sculptor Isidore Jules Bonheur to symbolize the victory won by France over Germany in the long-term war for this territory. It represents all the strength of the French with their anger and power. But the sculpture did not last long. In 1870, Bismarck's army recaptured the province, and the statue moved to the German capital as a trophy. In Germany, the bull stayed for a short time. 40 years later, the German Emperor Wilhelm II presented the statue to Enver Pasha. So the statue turns out to be in Istanbul, originally it stood in the garden of the general's palace. After the defeat of the coalition in World War I, Enver Pasha flees abroad, and the statue is forgotten. 1953 the Hilton Hotel is being built, and the statue is moved to the hotel garden. The statue repeatedly changed its place (Harbiye, Taksim, Besiktas), until finally, in 1969, it was put in Kadikey. Initially, it stood in front of the current Kadıköy administration building (Kadıköy Belediyesi Meclis Binası, formerly. Iskele de Şehremaneti Binası), and in 1976 (according to other sources in 1987) took its present place on Altıyol Square. All tourists stop next to the bull for a photo. Meetings are scheduled here, performances are arranged. A central place for tourists and locals. During football matches, a football uniform can be thrown on a bull.

A Woman's classic. You can see that local and foreign tourists are taking photos around all day. Some even climb on it. It used to not be given. Which I think should not be allowed again

Everyone who was here had to hold onto the bull's balls so that men's strength would come and money would be found. So if you've been photographed at this statue with a rich history, don't forget to rub the bull's balls for good luck!

When I was a child, Kadikoy was on the beach. He wouldn't have attracted much attention, except for his current interest. They brought it to Six years ago. Its popularity is increasing day by day…
