History
Maltepe was initially called ‘’Bryas.’’ Bryas was a small coastal village filled with monasteries during the Byzantine reign.

There was a palace named ‘’Bryas Palace’’ built in today’s Maltepe during Byzantine control proved by documents, but such palace was never found at all. The population continued to gradually increase since Bryas had rich water sources but took severe damages after the devastating earthquake of 1509. The Ottomans showed their dominance in Maltepe after the conquest of Constantinople by making this place a common camping ground for the Ottoman armies.
