Emirgan
Emirgan, which is one of the major districts hosting you on your journey
towards the Black Sea trailing the Boshporus, used to be called Feridun
Bey Gardens, named after Nişancı Feridun Bey who wrote the masterpiece
Münşa’at al-Salatin. Emir Gün, who was the fortress commander during
Conquest of Revan and who took refuge in the Sultan, was given the land
which presently includes Emirgan. Later, this castle which was given to
Kara Mustafa Pasha was given to possesion of various people after his
execution. Mirgün became the name of the whole district, with a
transformed pronunciation of Emir Gün. |
