The village of Adampol, also known as Polonezköy ('Polish village'), is located in Istanbul Province, Turkey. It was founded in the mid-19th century, when, on the initiative of Father Adam Czartoryski, Michał Czajkowski purchased land in order to find occupation and accommodation for the many Poles who had emigrated to Turkey after the fall of the November Uprising. In 2022, the village was inhabited by more than 300 people, but the Polish language is spoken almost exclusively by the oldest inhabitants.
