The Walls of Istanbul
About
The Walls of Istanbul, a remarkable historical attraction, are an essential visit on any itinerary. Constructed during the 5th century, the Theodosian Walls fortified the city, rendering it virtually impregnable, even against the formidable Ottoman forces of 1453. These ancient fortifications, integrated seamlessly into the modern city, stretch for many kilometers and feature various gates. A 1-2 hour visit allows you to walk along these storied walls, enjoying both the rich history and sweeping views. With an impressive average rating of 4.5, the site is not only suitable for children but also captivating for history enthusiasts. Additionally, ongoing restoration projects ensure the preservation of this vital piece of Istanbul's heritage.
