Ottoman Land Deed, Bakırköy, Istanbul, 1327 (1911) – Rum Owner Nikola

Description

This Ottoman land deed, dated 12 Teşrin-i Evvel 1327 AH (25 October 1911 CE), pertains to two plots located near the lake in the Küçükçekmece subdistrict of Bakırköy, Istanbul. The document specifies the boundaries of each plot:

  • Plot 1 (4 dönüm): East – Köy Mera; West – Konstanti Field; North – Alino binti Tiro Field; South – Yankı Çorbacı Field

  • Plot 2 (4 dönüm): East – Çekmece Lake; West – Dimitri Sadık Field; North – Hoca Kasım Efendi Field; South – Çekmece Lake

Both plots were originally part of the Sultan Beyazıd Foundation. The owner, Nikola, son of Muhtar Tanaş, was a Greek (Rum) citizen, and the document notes that although official title deeds were not issued, Nikola had long paid taxes on these properties. The deed confirms his ownership and is endorsed with Ottoman stamps, seals, and signatures. This record highlights the role of non-Muslim citizens in property ownership and taxation within the late Ottoman administration.
