Zeytinburnu is a working-class district located on the European side of Istanbul, Turkey. The district gets its name from the olive groves ("zeytin" means olive in Turkish) that once dominated the area.
Historically, Zeytinburnu played a significant role in Ottoman industry, particularly known for its leather tanning factories, some of which operated until the late 20th century. The area experienced rapid urbanization in the 1950s with significant internal migration to Istanbul.
Today, Zeytinburnu combines its industrial heritage with modern urban development, featuring several cultural centers and historical sites. The district is home to notable Ottoman-era structures, including the Merkez Efendi Mosque and complex, which dates back to the 16th century. The area has been actively developing its cultural infrastructure, with various initiatives to preserve and showcase its historical and cultural heritage.
