Bağdat Avenue

in Istanbul
Portrait

Fourteen kilometres of shops on the Asian side, following the line of a road that ran to Baghdad and was used by Ottoman armies going east. It is where Istanbul's residential money shops, which is why it exists as an address at all when İstiklal is better known.

This is a street, not an entry in the atlas. It resolves upward to the city that holds it.
