Zeytinburnu

Due to its proximity to the historical peninsula, Zeytinburnu, which rapidly grew from the 1940s, became a district in 1957, separating from Fatih. It is a small-sized but densely populated district that has recently become one of Istanbul's major transportation hubs. It is bordered by Fatih to the east; Eyüpsultan to the northeast; Bayrampaşa to the north; Esenler to the northwest; Güngören and Bakırköy to the west; and the Marmara Sea to the south.

Zeytinburnu is an important district for those who want to explore Istanbul's historical texture. The historical structures here have a history dating back to the Byzantine period. By visiting these historical sites, you can closely witness Istanbul's rich past and cultural transformation.

The population of our Zeytinburnu district is 280,896.
