EDITORS COMMENTS
Beneath the azure sky and the tranquil waters of the Bosphorus, the historic Rumeli Hisari Fortress stands proudly on the European side of Istanbul, Turkey. Constructed by the legendary Ottoman Sultan Mehmet II in just four months between 1451 and 1452, this imposing fortress was a testament to the power and determination of the Ottoman Empire. Its strategic location at the entrance of the Bosphorus Strait made it a crucial defensive structure, ensuring the security of the empire's territories. The Rumeli Hisari, also known as the Rumeli Castle or the European Fortress, is a marvel of medieval military architecture. Its towering ramparts, battlements, and fortifications stretch along the shoreline, providing a formidable barrier against potential invaders. The castle's design is a harmonious blend of Turkish and European architectural influences, with its distinctive towers and elegant curves. After the 16th century, the Rumeli Hisari served as a prison, holding many prominent political figures and dissidents. In 1953, the castle was meticulously restored in honor of the 500th anniversary of the conquest of Istanbul, preserving its historical significance for future generations. As you gaze upon this breathtaking view of the Rumeli Hisari, you can almost hear the echoes of history resonating through the air. The castle's enduring presence is a reminder of the rich and complex history of Constantinople, now known as Istanbul, and the indomitable spirit of the Ottoman Empire.
