About Fener

Fener is a neighbourhood. Location: Fatih, Istanbul.

From Wikipedia

Fener (Turkish pronunciation: [feˈnæɾ]; Greek: Φανάρι, romanized: Phanári), also spelled Phanar, is a quarter midway up the Golden Horn in the district of Fatih in Istanbul, Turkey. The Turkish name is derived from the Greek word "phanarion" (Medieval Greek: Φανάριον), meaning lantern, streetlight or lamppost; the neighborhood was so called because of a column topped with a lantern which stood here in the Byzantine period and was used as a street light or lighthouse.
