İstiklal Avenue is one of the most visited streets in Istanbul. This street is located in Beyoğlu, one of the oldest districts. One end is in Tünel and the other is in Taksim Square. In the middle of the street is the area where Galatasaray High School is located.

İstiklal Street began to take shape with the Byzantine period. During and after this period, it included Catholic churches and monasteries. These parts are named as Pera region. At that time, most of the population of Galata lived within the city walls. The commercial structure that developed with the Ottoman rule in Istanbul enabled the Latins to move to the slopes overlooking the Golden Horn and the Bosphorus.

When we come to the 19th century, the modern understanding of İstiklal Street began to prevail. The street now appeals to the intellectual and non-Muslim segment of the Ottoman Empire. During this period, it continued its development with various reforms. The street, which continued to develop at full speed during the reign of Sultan Abdulaziz, began to look like the famous streets of Paris. During this period, electric trams were put into service, a sewage system was built, the streets were illuminated with gas, and the streets were paved with stones. With these developments, the face of the street has also improved.
