Why gift a star map of Istanbul?
Gifting a star map of Istanbul means capturing the magic of a night when stars shine above Hagia Sophia and the Blue Mosque. Whether for a proposal during a Bosphorus cruise or an anniversary atop the Galata Tower, this map immortalises a unique moment in the city where East meets West. A gift as timeless as the domes that shape the Istanbul skyline.
The sky of Istanbul
At 41° north latitude, Istanbul offers a sky rich in constellations visible from both hemispheres. The city, at the crossroads of Europe and Asia, has a long astronomical tradition: Ottoman astronomers at Takiyüddin's 16th-century observatory watched the same stars that shine above the Bosphorus today. Clear winter nights reveal Orion, Gemini, and Sirius in all their splendour.
