| Sumario: | On the Bosphorus shores beginning from the 17 th century, an original kind of living was formed with its palace, yalı (seaside house), grove, recreation site, fountain and mosque building. This shore had especially been a host for the palaces of the dynasty family from the 18 th century on. It is perceived that the Bosphorus had not the position of a settlement yet, but an exterior point of the city o at the mid 15 th century. The Bosphorus is partially settled in the16 th century, some locations have been developed, and some places have been arranged as new settlements. The settlements have been established inside the valleys, at the skirts of hills in this century. While Bosphorus was not an intensive settlement area in the 17 th century, it has been transformed into an uptown summer resort for the palace court, alongside with the change in the life styles observed at the Ottoman society. The Western influence was not being felt much on yali’s ( seaside house) social life in this century; the traditional planning was persevering in the styles and interpretations. That there was a coastal structuring in Bosphorus prior to the18th century is discerned from the maps pertaining to those centuries and writings of travelers. The Bosphorus villages are usually indicated with their titles on maps belonging to this period. The “Evliya Çelebi’s Travel book” incorporated important information, pertaining to the area with respect to times predating the 18th century. Even if all of the yalis on Bosphorus coast share similarities with each other by their general characteristics, every one of them have been a specific. Nonetheless, the size and particularities of the yalis have been planned so to reflect their proprietors’ social and economic status. The segregation of harem and selamlık [portion of the house reserved for men and women] has been observed in big yalis on Bosporus strip at the end of the 18th century. These yalis included two separate independent yet connected parts as harem and selamlık. Many of the yalis, built with timber, according to Melling drawings are wooden structures, belonging to the court family, statesmen and may be considered as early examples of Bosphorus palaces. That the palaces and yalis have been are built few and far between on the coast during this period is documented by the map, realized by Kauffer between 1776 and 1786. It is being observed that the construction at Bosphorus surged, beginning from the onset of the 19 th cent |
