Please note that the content of this book primarily consists of articles available from Wikipedia or other free sources online. Yass ada (Greek: Plati) is one of the Princes'' Islands in the Sea of Marmara. The island, which has an area of 0.05 km², is officially a neighbourhood in the Adalar district of Istanbul, Turkey. Yass ada (Plati) was used by the Byzantines for sending prominent figures into exile. One such person was the Armenian Patriarch (Catholicos) Narses who was first sent to this island before being imprisoned at Büyükada (Pringipos) in the 4th century. In the 11th century, the Byzantines used the island for political prisoners. The remains of the four underground prison cells from this period can still be seen. The Byzantines also built a monastery and church on the island. Yass ada (Plati) was captured by the Latin Crusaders during the Fourth Crusade in 1204. In 1857, the island was purchased by the British ambassador Henry Bulwer, brother of novelist Edward Bulwer-Lytton, who built himself a mansion and a small castle-like structure to live undisturbed on this distant island. The tiny castle and the wharf in front of it are still standing today.
