Description

The giant Buyukdere Çınarı, which lasted for 2000 years, was located in the old Buyukdere Promenade known as Çayırbaşı in Istanbul. It consisted of seven giant trees (Seven Brothers) and 41 root feet that came out of the same root. The plane was named as "Platane de Godefroy De Bouvillon" because the Commander of the 1st Crusade, Count Godefroi de Bouillon, established a headquarters under this tree in 1096. Büyükdere Plane was destroyed after the First World War.
