Haydarpasa Terminal
Istanbul Haydarpasa Terminal was a railway terminal in Istanbul (Asian side of the big city) and until 2012 the station was a major intercity, regional and commuter rail hub, as well as the busiest railway station in Turkey.
Haydarpasa Terminal
The neo-classical Haydarpasa station / building, was built by Sultan Abdulhamit in 1906 to 1908 and its purpose was to connect the eastern lands of the Ottoman Empire to the capital of Istanbul.
The foundation is on 1,100 wooden piles, each 21 meters (69 feet) long, driven into the mushy shore by steam hammer.
This building has a deep history in the Turkish culture as it represents a passage from the urban eastern lands to the new west.
This video was filmed while on a ferry boat travelling from Eminonu (European side of the city) to Kadikoy (Asian side). Enjoy, the YouTube link of the video is below.
