Edirnekapı, Fatih

It corresponds roughly to the central part of the sixth Hill of Istanbul, which is the highest point of the walled city.

[1] It lies south of the Blachernae section of the Walls and of the neighborhood of Ayvansaray, northwest of Karagümrük and west of Salmatomruk.

The district had a significant percentage of Orthodox Christian population, which left it for more central areas after 1955.

[3] The quarter is crossed by Fevzi Paşa Caddesi, one of the most important roads of the historic part of Istanbul.

The Hagia Yorgi Church in Edirnekapı was demolished with the order of Byzantine Emperor Constantine V and rebuilt.
