Photos of Taksim Square

Taksim Square is the largest square in Istanbul. It is located in the center of the new city. In addition to the high altitude, it is also an important transportation hub in the new city. The extension is the lively Independence Street. The Independence Monument is located in the south of the square, and stands the circular Independence Monument, which commemorates the founder of the Turkish Republic in the early 20th century, Kemore. The lifelike bronze relief statue shows the demeanor of the founding father in front of the world. Every major festival, there are always many Turks who send wreaths. After the Second World War, this wide open space was preserved, and star-rated hotels and high-rise buildings were erected in the surrounding area. It is worth mentioning that Taksim Square is also a holy place in the hearts of Turkish fans. Whenever the Turkish national football team wins a major game, tens of thousands of fans gather in Taksim Square to celebrate and parade.
