Constantinople's Golden Gate and Yedikule: A Historical Treasure of Istanbul, Turkey This image showcases the Golden Gate and Yedikule, two significant historical landmarks located in Istanbul, Turkey. The Golden Gate, also known as the "Cleansed Gate," is a magnificent golden-hued walled enclosure adorned with intricate pillars and columns. This structure, partly Byzantine and part Turkish, served as a grand entrance to the city during the Ottoman Empire. Yedikule, meaning "Seven Towers," is a walled enclosure that is an integral part of the Golden Gate. Although it was not used as a castle, it did serve important functions. Two of its towers functioned as prisons, housing both Turkish citizens and foreign envoys. Notably, Sultan Osman I, the founder of the Ottoman Empire, was strangled here in 1622 after being deposed at the young age of 17 by the notorious Janissaries. The Golden Gate and Yedikule stand as testaments to the rich history and cultural fusion of Istanbul. Their intricate designs and historical significance make them popular tourist destinations, offering visitors a glimpse into the city's past. The pillars and columns, which have withstood the test of time, add to the allure of these structures, making them a must-visit for history enthusiasts and travelers alike. This photograph, taken from Mary Evans Prints Online, provides a unique perspective of the Golden Gate and Yedikule, inviting us to explore the stories and history that lie within their walls. The image offers a glimpse into the past, allowing us to appreciate the beauty and historical significance of these structures that continue to captivate and inspire visitors to Istanbul.
