Taksim Square, situated in the European part of Istanbul, Turkey, is a major tourist and leisure district
famed for its restaurants, shops, and hotels. It is considered the heart of modern Istanbul, with the
central station of the Istanbul Metro network. Taksim Square is also the location of the Monument of
the Republic which was crafted by Pietro Canonica and inaugurated in 1928. The monument
commemorates the 5th anniversary of the foundation of the Republic of Turkey in 1923, following the
Turkish War of Independence.
Taksim is a main transportation hub and a popular destination for both tourists and the native
population of Istanbul. İstiklal Caddesi (Independence Avenue), a long pedestrian shopping street,
ends at this square, and a nostalgic tram runs from the square along the avenue, ending near the
Tünel (1875) which is the world’s second-oldest subway line after London’s Underground (1863).
Surrounding Taksim Square are numerous travel agencies, hotels, restaurants, pubs, and international
fast food chains such as Pizza Hut, McDonald’s, Subway, and Burger King.
Taksim is also a favourite location for public events such as parades, New Year celebrations, or other
social gatherings.
