About Tophane
Tophane is a neighbourhood. Location: Beyoğlu, Istanbul.
Tophane (Turkish pronunciation: [topˈhane]) (lit. "Armoury") is a quarter in the Beyoğlu district of Istanbul, Turkey, running downhill from Galata to the shore of the Bosphorus where it joins up with Karaköy to the southwest and Fındıklı to the northeast. In the Ottoman era, it was the city's first industrial zone. Despite rapid gentrification, parts of Tophane remain conservative and there have been clashes over some developments in the area.
