The 1894 Earthquake That Shook Istanbul
Om avsnittet
In July 1894, a violent earthquake struck the Ottoman capital, collapsing thousands of buildings and killing over a thousand people. Lucas and Luna walk through the devastation—the Grand Bazaar's domes caving in, Hagia Sophia's minaret cracking, fires erupting across the city—and how Sultan Abdul Hamid II coordinated relief, including aid from the Red Cross and international donors. They explore how the disaster pushed Istanbul toward modern building codes, the rebuilding of the bazaar, and the lasting mark it left on a city already transforming. A story of catastrophe and resilience at the edge of a new century.
