ISTANBUL, TURKEY. The Camondo Stairs at Karakoy in Beyoglu district

---

Istanbul's Camondo Stairs in Galata (Karakoy) were a public service project donated by the Camondos, a wealthy Istanbul Jewish family. The stairs climb the hill from the Galata docks and Bankalar Caddesi (Avenue of the Banks) up to the fashionable 19th-century neighborhoods where the Camondos built an imposing edifice to house a school. The school is now a rental apartment building where you can relive a bit of 19th-century Ottoman life.
