This is a thriving suburb in the Göztepe area. A Byzantine wall in the car park of an apartment block (40.988698,29.077986) has been identified as part of one of the many monasteries in the Diocese of Chalcedon. But these days, it’s just a bit of an obstruction to people trying to park their cars.
At the bottom of the hill, there are substantial bits of a cistern that form part of the car park wall of the new Medical Park Hospital. Staff on their cigarette breaks revel in the Byzantine surroundings.
