İzmit Clock Tower

The İzmit Clock Tower (Turkish: İzmit Saat Kulesi) in İzmit, Turkey is one of many clock towers that were built throughout the Ottoman Empire as a result of the decree which was sent to the provincial governors to commemorate the 25th anniversary of Sultan Abdülhamid II's ascension to the Ottoman throne. It was designed by architect Vedat Tek upon the order of Musa Kazım Bey, the governor of İzmit, and built in 1902. Other sources name the architect of the tower as Mihran Azaryan who was an Armenian-Ottoman of Izmit origin. The neoclassical clock tower, which stands just in front of the Hünkar Pavilion of Sultan Abdülaziz, has four floors with dimensions 3.65 m × 3.65 m (12.0 ft × 12.0 ft). The ground floor houses fountains, while the clock is on the top floor. All four facades of the middle floors are decorated with the seal of Sultan Abdülhamid II. The pointed cone on top is coated with lead. The clock tower has been an inseparable part of the history of İzmit throughout the 20th century, and has become the symbol of the city. In the former Balkan provinces of the Ottoman Empire, particularly in present-day Serbian, Bosnian and Montenegrin towns such as Belgrade, Prijepolje, Sarajevo, Banja Luka, Gradačac and Stara Varoš, similar Ottoman era clock towers are still named Sahat Kula (deriving from the Turkish words Saat Kulesi, meaning Clock Tower.) It was restored in 2006.

Измитская часовая башня

Измитская часовая башня (тур. İzmit Saat Kulesi) находится в турецком городе Измит и является одной из многих часовых башен, которые были возведены по всей Османской империи согласно указу, который был разослан губернаторам османских провинций в честь ознаменования 25-летия восхождения на османский престол султана Абдул-Хамида II. Измитская башня была построена по проекту архитектора Ведата Тека по распоряжению Мусы Казыма-бея, губернатора Измита в 1902 году. В других источниках архитектором часовой башни значится Михран Азарян, местный уроженец армяно-османского происхождения. Измитская часовая башня, возведённая в неоклассическом стиле, находится непосредственно перед Хюнкарским павильоном султана Абдул-Азиза. Она имеет четыре этажа и занимает площадь 3,65 на 3,65 метра. На первом этаже работают фонтаны, а часы расположены на самом верхнем её уровне. Все четыре фасада второго и третьего этажей украшают печати османского султана Абдул-Хамида II. Венчающий часовую башню заострённый конус сверху покрыт свинцом. Часовая башня является неотъемлемой частью истории Измита на протяжении всего XX века, став символом города. В бывших балканских провинциях Османской империи, особенно в современных сербских, боснийских и черногорских городах, таких как Белград, Приеполе, Сараево, Баня-Лука, Градачац и Стара-Варош, похожие часовые башни османских времён до сих пор известны как сахат-кулы (название происходит от турецких слов Saat Kulesi, переводимых как Башня с часами). В 2006 году Измитская часовая башня была отреставрирована. Примечания

Şeyh Süleyman Mosque

Şeyh Süleyman Mosque (Turkish: Şeyh Süleyman Mescidi) is a mosque in Istanbul converted from a former Byzantine building which was part of the Eastern Orthodox Pantokrator Monastery. Its usage during the Byzantine era is unclear. The small building is a minor example of architecture of the Byzantine middle period in Constantinople. Location The structure is located in Zeyrek Sokak, in the district of Fatih, in the neighborhood of Zeyrek, about 120 meters southwest of the former Pantokrator Church, now part of the Mosque of Zeyrek. History Nothing is known about the history of this small octagonal building before 1453. Almost certainly it was part of the great Monastery of Christ Pantokrator, erected between 1118 and 1124 by Byzantine Empress Irene Komnene. According to some scholars it could have been a burial place, while others think that it was the library of the monastery. Shortly after the Fall of Constantinople in 1453, under Mehmed II, the building was converted into a mosque by Şeyh Süleyman Halîfe (?–1491). In any case, the instrument endowing the corresponding waqf is missing. After the great fire of 1756 the building was restored during the reign of Sultan Mustafa III (r. 1757-74) by Kazgan Asan Aĝa, and assigned to the nearby medrese. Description The building has a square plan and is topped by a low octagonal dome with pendentives. Inside the building four niches are located in the corners. Underground there is a burial crypt with eight niches covered by a dome vault. The masonry of the lower part is made of ashlar, while in the upper part it consists of bricks. A Byzantine cistern is still extant close to the building. Notes References Eyice, Semavi (1955). Istanbul. Petite Guide a travers les Monuments Byzantins et Turcs (in French).

Moschea di Şeyh Süleyman

La moschea di Şeyh Süleyman (nome completo in turco Şeyh Süleyman Mescidi, dove mescit è il termine turco indicante una piccola moschea) è una moschea di Istanbul ricavata da un ex edificio bizantino che faceva parte del vicino monastero ortodosso del Pantocratore. Il suo uso durante l'era bizantina non è chiaro. Il piccolo edificio è un esempio minore di architettura bizantina del periodo intermedio a Costantinopoli. Posizione La struttura si trova a Zeyrek Sokak, nel distretto di Fatih, nella Mahalle di Zeyrek, a circa 120 metri a sud ovest dell'antica chiesa del Pantocratore, ora parte della Moschea di Zeyrek. Storia Non si sa nulla della storia precedente il 1453 di questo piccolo edificio ottagonale. Quasi certamente essa faceva parte del grande monastero di Cristo Pantocratore, eretto tra il 1118 e il 1124 dall'imperatrice bizantina Irene Comnena. Secondo alcuni studiosi potrebbe essere stato un luogo di sepoltura, mentre altri pensano che fosse la biblioteca del monastero. Poco dopo la caduta di Costantinopoli nel 1453, sotto Mehmed II, l'edificio fu trasformato in una moschea da Şeyh Süleyman Halîfe (? -1491). In ogni caso non ci è pervenuto lo strumento imperiale che istituì il waqf corrispondente. Dopo il grande incendio di Istanbul del 1756, l'edificio fu restaurato durante il regno del Sultano Mustafa III (r. 1757-74) da Kazgan Asan Aĝa, e assegnato alla vicina medrese. Descrizione L'edificio è a pianta quadrata ed è sormontato da una bassa cupola ottagonale con pennacchi. All'interno dell'edificio, agli angoli si trovano quattro nicchie. Al livello sotterraneo c'è una cripta sepolcrale con otto nicchie coperte da una volta a cupola. La muratura della parte inferiore è in conci, mentre nella parte superiore è in mattoni. Vicino all'edificio esiste ancora una cisterna bizantina. Note Bibliografia (FR) Semavi Eyice, Istanbul. Petite Guide a travers les Monuments Byzantins et Turcs, Istanbul, Istanbul Matbaası, 1955.

Şile Lighthouse

The Şile Feneri, a historical lighthouse still in use, is located on the western Black Sea coast in the northeast town Şile of Istanbul Province, Turkey. History Commissioned by the Ottoman sultan Abdülmecid I (r. 1839–1861), it was constructed in 1859 by French engineers. In 1860, the lighthouse went into service. The masonry lighthouse is built on a cliffy point at Cape Şile about 1 km (0.62 mi) northeast of the town. The 19 m (62 ft) tower with a gallery around the lantern room has the form of an octagonal prism. A masonry one-story keeper's house is attached to it. The lighthouse is painted white with narrow black horizontal bands. Initially, the lighthouse was lit by kerosene, however the light source was later replaced by Dalén light using carbide (acetylene gas). Since 1968, it runs on electricity. The lighthouse's lantern has eight 925mm catadioptric cylindrical lenses and a 1,000 W light source. At a focal height of 60 m (200 ft), it flashes white for 1.5s every 15 seconds, which is visible at a range of 20 nmi (37 km). The flashing is achieved by eight rotating panels that are still set in motion by a weight-driven mechanism inside the tower using anchor escapement. The falling weight on the chain reaches the bottom of the tower in two hours. For the operation's continuity, the lighthouse keeper has to pull it up by rewinding the chain. The lighthouse is listed in Turkey under the code "TUR-046" and its radio call sign is TC2SLH. It is operated and maintained by the Coastal Safety Authority (Turkish: Kıyı Emniyeti Genel Müdürlüğü) of the Ministry of Transport and Communication. Şile Feneri is open to the public, as a historical site. 150th anniversary 2010 was the 150th anniversary of the inauguration of the lighthouse. For this purpose, celebrations were held from May 25 to July 23, organized by the local municipality. The Turkish Post issued on May 1, 2010, a commemorative stamp. On July 24, the tower got dressed up from top to bottom in the renowned Şile cloth, a very light cotton fabric woven there.
