Sinem In The House
Turkey's largest and most magnificent railway station, Haydarpasa was built in the early 20th century by the German architects Otto Ritter and Helmuth Cuno as an important link in the Berlin-to-Baghdad railway scheme. A monument to the close Turkish - German relations of the time and a gift to the Ottoman Sultan from Kaiser Wilhelm II, the station is in neo-renaissance style and has a U-plan. On the Asian shore of the Bosphorus, Haydarpasa is the terminus for trains to and from Asian Turkey and Turkey's largest and most magnificent railway station.
