Among the 53 contributions included in the volume and which refer generally to the history of the Golden Horn one finds communications about each of the historic neighborhoods, such as Cibali, Fener, Balat, Eyüp and others, as well as the non-Muslim communities of Istanbul who lived in these neighborhoods (Greek Orthodox, Jews, Bulgarian Orthodox) and their religious monuments.
