Taksim Maksemi
Taksim Maksemi is a building located at the intersection of Istiklal Street and Taksim Square in Beyoğlu , Istanbul . The name of Taksim Square comes from Taksim Maksemi, where Galata-Beyoğlu water used to be &quot;divided&quot;.

Taksim Maksem was built by Mahmut I between 1732 and 1833. With Maksem, the water resources in the Belgrad Forests were distributed via the transmission line, thanks to the Levent-Mecidiyeköy line. However, today Taksim Maksemi has become dry.
