Peyami Safa, one of the most important representatives of the Republican Period, brought a different criticism to Eastern and Western culture with his novel Fatih-Harbiye. In this study, I tried to analyze the text with a place-oriented reading by taking Gaston Bachelard's Poetics of Space. By classifying the places, I tried to analyze the objects and people belonging to the places under these headings. In this study I made on the axis of Gaston Bachelard, I benefited from text / content analysis in qualitative research techniques. Since spatial science is a sub-branch of geography-centered reading, I also touched on geography-centered reading. There has not yet been a comprehensive study that touches on Bachelard's poetics of space in the novel Fatih Harbiye. It can be thought that such a study will be useful in literary sociology and place-centered readings.
