Belgrade Forest
The name of this vast
forest originated from Serbian war prisoners for whom Suleyman the Magnificent
built a village after his conquest of city of Belgrade in 1521. These people
were responsible for the dams and streams of the forest. This was the part of
the water supply system of the city of Istanbul and water which was transferred
by the means of aqueducts and pipes ended at great water depot Taksim square.
This was the village of rich Christians whose life is described by the Lady Mary
Montague, the wife of the British Ambassador. The Belgrad Forest houses great
number of water dams, aqueducts which still draw the admiration of the visitors.
