Beautiful area with beautiful buildings that breathe military history. Well worth seeing and visiting the museum as well as the officer salon restaurant.

The officers' club of the old regiment! A serene and old-time atmosphere with good food at an affordable price!

Cozy but feels like it's haunted here

Nice buildings to walk around and look at. Unfortunately the museum was not open so we were only there for a short time.

Walls of Constantinople

The Walls of Constantinople are a series of defensive stone walls that have surrounded and protected the city of Constantinople (today Istanbul) since its founding as the new capital of the Roman Empire by Constantine the Great. With numerous additions and modifications during their history, they were the last great fortification system of antiquity, and one of the most complex and elaborate systems ever built. They were also the largest and strongest fortification in both the ancient and medieval world.

Initially built by Constantine the Great, the walls surrounded the new city on all sides, protecting it against attack from both sea and land. As the city grew, the famous double line of the Theodosian Walls was built in the 5th century. Although the other sections of the walls were less elaborate, they were, when well-manned, almost impregnable for any medieval besieger.
