My Favorite Building in Istanbul

I love finding old, rundown buildings.


Istanbul has many of them scattered throughout the city, overshadowed by new development. This one is located a block from the bustling Taks1m bus station.

Most of the windows are boarded up with doors.

I went to take a closer look.







Upon closer inspection, I noticed the padlock was unlocked.

So I went inside.



Obscure shadows, spraypaint on the walls, random junk scattered about.

Evidence of squatters and drug use.

Then I heard a noise in the next room and almost wet myself.

With no backup, I grabbed my bicycle quickly left.





Then I relieved my bladder alongside the building.

This was the view.
