While recording Byzantine architectural works, Artamonoff captured details from the design of these market gardens. Standing at the northwestern section of the wall, he photographed the market gardens just below him with a view extending to the hills above Eyüp. A cistern used for storing water from the wells of each of those gardens can be discerned among the blooming trees planted on the edges of the garden plots.
