**FOUR ERAS OF HISTORY IN ONE BUILDING

In Istanbul’s historic Fatih district, a remarkable building reveals architectural layers associated with four different periods: the Roman Empire, the Byzantine Empire, the Ottoman Empire, and the modern Turkish Republic.

Its lowest section is believed to contain the remains of a Roman-era cistern, with Byzantine arches, Ottoman masonry, and more recent construction rising above it.

The structure offers a rare visual timeline of nearly 1,800 years of Istanbul’s architectural history.
