EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures a breathtaking view of Constantinople, now known as Istanbul, from the Asian side of the Bosphorus Strait. The image showcases the Princes' Islands, a popular destination for visitors seeking a tranquil escape from the bustling city. In the foreground, the Anadolu Hissari, also known as the Anadolu Castle or Fortification, stands proudly. This historic structure was initially built in 1390 by Sultan Beyazit I, famously known as "The Thunderbolt." Sultan Beyazit I was a formidable ruler of the Ottoman Empire until his defeat in the Battle of Ankara by Timur (Tamurlane) in 1401. After the battle, the castle was rebuilt and extended over the centuries. The mouth of the Goksu Deresi, or the Sky Stream, is visible in the photograph. In the late Ottoman period, this water source was called 'The Sweet Waters of Asia Minor.' The Anadolu Hissari was an essential fortification, guarding the entrance to the Bosphorus and protecting the city from potential invaders. This photograph offers a glimpse into the rich history of Constantinople and the Ottoman Empire. The castle's intricate design and the serene beauty of the Princes' Islands and the Bosphorus Strait make for a striking contrast, showcasing the harmonious blend of history and nature in Istanbul.
