The symbolic heart of modern Istanbul — where bus routes converge, political demonstrations gather, and New Year's Eve celebrations erupt. The Republic Monument at its centre commemorates the founding of the Turkish Republic in 1923. It's more transit hub than postcard, but every Istanbullu has a Taksim story, and the square's energy is unmistakably the pulse of the city's modern identity.
