EDITORS COMMENTS
View of the Bosphorus: Rumeli Hisari, Istanbul, Turkey (1956) This evocative photograph captures the breathtaking beauty and historical significance of Rumeli Hisari, also known as Rumelihisari or Bogazkesen Castle, in Istanbul, Turkey. Situated on a series of hills on the European banks of the Bosphorus, this medieval fortress dates back to the late 15th century and was built by Sultan Mehmet II to protect the Ottoman Empire from potential invasion through the Bosphorus. The imposing walls and defensive structures of Rumeli Hisari stand proudly on the hillside, their rugged edges contrasting sharply with the tranquil waters of the Bosphorus. The castle's strategic location at the narrowest point of the Bosphorus, where Europe meets Asia, made it an essential fortification during the Ottoman Empire's expansion. This photograph, taken in 1956, offers a glimpse into the past, transporting us back to a time when the fortress was still a significant military stronghold. The image showcases the castle's enduring allure, with its intricate stonework and the lush greenery of the surrounding hills providing a striking backdrop. Rumeli Hisari is a testament to the rich history and cultural heritage of Constantinople, now known as Istanbul, and remains an essential landmark in Turkey's vibrant and diverse landscape. The photograph serves as a poignant reminder of the past, inviting us to reflect on the historical significance of this remarkable fortress and the role it played in shaping the Ottoman Empire.
