What the numbers say
Istanbul accounts for 24 notable places listed on OpenStreetMap in this cycle, all of them on September 28, 2026. Every row below is a record as its source published it — no estimate, no interpolation, and nothing carried over from a previous run.
That places Istanbul 1 of 13 among Europe, which is within a rounding error of the median for that group.
The most recent entries are Cat Museum, Wall paintings, Istiklal Marsi. This page is a view of public data and not a substitute for it — check the original before acting on any row.

The addresses OpenStreetMap files these places under touch 22 distinct localities, and they cluster: 11 holds 2 (SALT Galata and Osmanlı Bankası Müzesi) and Mumhane Caddesi holds 2 (Fransız Geçidi and Fransiz Gecidi), while 20 localities carry one entry each — a rough sketch of where Istanbul keeps its notable ground.
