In the quiet corners of Bakırköy, stretching away from the seashore, Kampos carries the unforgettable traces of ancient Thrace. From the stone foundations scattered across the surface of this settlement, which reaches back as far as twelve hundred years, archaeological teams have sought to unravel the meaning of the Hellenistic and early Roman periods. This strategic point, where the trade routes opening from Anatolia to Europe intersected, was once a lively cultural center. Although it is little known today in terms of culture and tourism, these ruins are important evidence of Istanbul's many-layered history. The architecture of the structures offers clues that reflect the daily life and artistic sensibility of those who lived in antiquity. On your visit, as you walk among these silent ruins, do not forget to feel the depth of more than a thousand years of time.
