This street has a memory.
On Tımarcı Street, the building that now houses Barnathan Istanbul reflects layers of Galata’s past: 19th-century apartment culture, Sephardic heritage, Genoese traces, Ottoman Istanbul and the changing life of Pera.
Barnathan Apartments are also featured in the Galata Travel Guide by Akdoğan Özkan.
Created for those who wish not only to visit Galata but to understand it, the guide brings together its streets, hans, churches, synagogues, city wall remains and walking routes.
