Turkey: Strategic developments in Istanbul
Mevlana Gate, which has witnessed changes in its names and functions throughout its 1600-year history 🔹 One of the main transition points of the city during the Eastern Roman period, Mevlana Gate gained a new identity in the Ottoman period with the Yenikapı Mevlevihanesi established around it. 🔹 The gate, with its approximately 1600-year history, carries the traces of Istanbul's history with its changing names and functions in different periods. 🗣️ Academician and art historian Yasin Saygılı ⤵️ — While the Mevlevihane took its name from Yenikapı, this time the gate took its name from the Mevlevihane, and the gate's name became 'Mevlevihane Kapısı'. After a long period, this name transformed in the people's language and became 'Mevlana Kapı'. https://v.aa.com.tr/4089390
