Sütlüce, Beyoğlu

Sütlüce is a neighborhood in the Beyoğlu district of Istanbul, Turkey, located at the eastern bank of Golden Horn across Eyüp.

Istanbul's main slaughterhouse was situated in Sütlüce. The facility, which caused great air and water pollution to the natural environment at Golden Horn, was abandoned in 1984 after 61 years of service. In accordance with the city's urban redevelopment plan and following the establishment of Miniatürk, SantralIstanbul and Rahmi M. Koç Museum around and the transformation of the old slaughterhouse into a modern congress complex, Sütlüce became a center of attraction for real estate investors.[1][2]
