The village is an old settlement. Its name was ''Panium'' in the ancient ages, ''Fanarraki'' or ''Fanarayan'' during the [[Byzantine Empire]]. The lighthouse the symbol of the village, was built by the [[Republic of Genoa]] which fought against [[Republic of Venice]] in 1352 and colonized the area before Turkish conquest in the Middle Ages. The light house was rebuilt in the 19th century by the [[Ottoman Empire]]. There are two ruins in the village which are historically important. The ''Pompeius column'' was constructed by the Byzantine Empire and the citadel was built by the Ottoman sultan [[Murat IV]] in the 17th century. Another important event which Rumelifeneri was involved was the rebellion of [[Kabakçı Mustafa]].<ref>[http://www.gaxxi.com/dipdalga/yazi/rumelifeneri A page about Istanbul Vicinity {{tr icon}}]</ref>


Rumelifeneri is a coastal village located at the extreme northwest (i.e., [[Europe]]an side) of the [[Bosphorous]] Strait. It is a suburb of [[Istanbul]]. The distance to Sarıyer is {{convert|10|km}} and to the center of Greater Istanbul is about {{convert|25|km}}.
== Ecclesiastical history ==
Panium, in modern times also called Barbaros,[1] was important enugh in the [[Roman province]] of [[Europa (Roman province)]] ([[civil diocese]] of [[Diocese of Thrace|Thrace]]) to become a [[suffragan]] bishopric of the [[Archdiocese of Heraclea]], in the sway of the [[Patriarchate of Constantinople]], dropping from first to third rank among Heraclea’s suffragans according to the Byzantine Empire’s [[Notitiae Episcoporum from the ninth to the fifteenth century.

Rumelifeneri (named after the lighthouse Rumeli Feneri) is a neighbourhood in the municipality and district of Sarıyer, Istanbul Province, Turkey.[1] Its population is 4,337 (2022).[2]

Geography

[edit]

Rumelifeneri is a coastal village located at the extreme northwest (i.e., European side) of the Bosphorous Strait. It is a suburb of Istanbul. The distance to Sarıyer is 10 kilometres (6.2 mi) and to the center of Greater Istanbul is about 25 kilometres (16 mi).

History

[edit]

Archaeological evidence in the area of the village dates back to the late Byzantine era, although a now lost Greek inscription dating to the 3rd century CE was formerly on display at the Greek cemetery of the village.[3]

The village is named after a local lighthouse, which is attested in portolans and literary sources since at least the 15th century. Petrus Gyllius, who visited it in the mid-16th century, described it as octagonal, and ascribed to it a Byzantine origin. Its Greek inhabitants named it Phanarion (Φανάριον, "lighthouse"), often in the diminutive Phanarakion (Φαναράκιον).[3] In 1768, a fortress was built by a Greek engineer for the Ottoman Empire (Rumeli Fener Kalesi), possibly on older foundations. It is now in ruins.[3] Rumelifeneri was involved was the rebellion of Kabakçı Mustafa.[4]

Before World War I, the village was inhabited by Greeks—some 900 inhabitants in the late 19th century—and had a church dedicated to St. George (possibly built on a Byzantine predecessor), and the hagiasma (sacred well) known as tis Tsirpinas (της Τσίρπινας).[3]

Economy

[edit]

Rumelifeneri is a fishermen's village. But it is very close to Istanbul, which makes the village a place of seafood restaurants specialized for daily excursion of Istanbul citizens.
