They were in the process of being rebuilt. Here's a post, including a few photographs, in the event it is of interest: http://packinglighttravel.com/destinations/europe/turkey/istanbuls-rainbow-stairs/Anne Bettshttp://www.packinglighttravel.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6104067274494549802.post-22445932684090950432014-09-14T21:18:36.091-04:002014-09-14T21:18:36.091-04:00Never knew these existed in Istanbul.

I wouldn't be surprised if they did!<br /><br />That's one of the joys of Istanbul - you turn a corner and you never know what you may uncover. I'll be back again in about 9 weeks for a visit.

I love how the painted steps spread! We have them all over our neighborhood as well and its so simple, but adds a pop of color, improving the area. :) Moehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01158798567853685977noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6104067274494549802.post-22535679038358560542013-10-04T10:16:05.689-04:002013-10-04T10:16:05.689-04:00The rainbow painted step look really great.
