Çamlıca is a leafy district of Üsküdar on the Asian side of Istanbul. It is famous for two hills—Big Çamlıca (Büyük Çamlıca in Turkish, 268m) and Little Çamlıca (Küçük Çamlıca in Turkish, 229m)—offering panoramic views across the Sea of Marmara and the Princes' Islands to the European side of Istanbul and Sarayburnu. Historically, these were renowned beauty spots although by the end of the 20th century modern development had detracted from that beauty, not least when a series of radio and television towers were built on the hills.Among the artists to leave drawings of the panoramic view from Büyük Çamlıca in its 19th-century heyday was the Usküdar-born artist Hoca Ali Rıza. Çamlıca can be reached on the M5 Metro line from Üsküdar at Kısıklı and Bulgurlu stations.
