Fener
Turkey
Fener, an Istanbul neighborhood in the Fatih district, holds 44 connections with 4043 other places across 14 topics, led by history, sports, and religion. After 1453, the Phanariotes, prominent ethnic Greeks, made this neighborhood their base. The Ecumenical Patriarchate of Constantinople moved here in 1602 and remains today. During World War I, the area was affected by British bombing of Istanbul. The name traces to a Byzantine lantern column that once served as a lighthouse.
