During the years following the conquest of Istanbul by Turks in 1453, the oldest settlement known in the area was around Kazlıçeşme Neighborhood. Fatih Sultan Mehmet Han who built Yedikule Fortress after conquest, had many tanneries established in Kazlıçeşme and a small settlement was established around the mosque built by him. Some disputes arouse between the Greeks of the city after conquest of the Istanbul by Turks and the community called as Kudüslü Papazlar (Priests from Jerusalem) settled in the point of land today known as Zeytinburnu in Kazlıçeşme. A visible revival was experienced with coming of Priests from Jerusalem, Zeytinburnu became a pleasant neighborhood with agricultural products, olives and various fruits grown by them.
