Maltepe is a district in Istanbul, Turkey, on the northern shore of the Sea of Marmara. It is adjacent to the Kadıköy district to the west, Kartal district to the east and Ataşehir district to the northwest. The mayor of Maltepe is Ali Kılıç (CHP). In Byzantine times, the area was known as Bryas (Greek: Βρύας). In ca. 837, the emperor Theophilos (r. 829–842) erected here a palace in Arab style, inspired by the palaces of the Abbasids in Baghdad, described to him by his ambassador to the Abbasid court, John Grammatikos. A ruin in nearby Küçükyalı has been identified as it. More information...
