The Walls of Constantinople Highlights: Must-See Features and Attractions
Some information may have been translated by Google Translate
The Istanbul Wall, also known as the Constantinople Wall, is a stone wall that surrounds and protects Constantinople (today called Istanbul), which has existed since the capital of the Roman Empire, Constantine I. The city walls of Constantinople have undergone numerous additions and repairs. It is an existing ancient fortress system and one of the most complex fortress systems in the world. The walls of Istanbul were originally built during the reign of Constantine I to defend against attacks by land and sea. Although some parts of the walls were slightly less elaborate, when properly deployed, the walls of Constantinople were unbreakable under any medieval attack. In the nineteenth century, the city grew beyond its medieval boundaries, with parts of the city walls removed, and the walls have fallen into disrepair since then, but many parts still stand. In the 1980s, it underwent extensive local restoration, and now visitors can see its majesty again.

Istanbul is not only his fashion side, but because of its city walls and a sense of historical vicissitudes, the city actually gave me many surprises. I like the attractions very much and I like his shopping environment.
In the old city of Istanbul, in Asia, the old wall is between Sofia Church and the old royal palace. Grand spectacle, precipitating the thick history, under the old city wall is the stone road, walking on it, feeling in the long history of walking.
The environment is good, the environment is good, the environment is good.
Really a good place. Let's go see it together
The wall in Istanbul is an important monument. Although it is a little broken, it can still tell the great history of Turkey. Don't miss it.
When I saw it on the Internet that it was unsafe, I wanted to see it in broad daylight and left because there were some young people asking for money at the foot of the city wall. Looking back on how important such walls were during the religious wars
