This part of the city is quite busy, so the travellers who want to make a stop here should expect to have an active journey. The main attraction here is the Yedikule Fortress (in Turkish Yedikule Hisarı, in Greek , Heptapyrgion; meaning Fortress of the Seven Towers) that is located in the Yedikule neighbourhood of Fatih in Istanbul. It was built in 1458 by adding three new towers to a section of the Walls of Constantinople which included the Golden Gate.The ruins of this ancient castle are still powerful and show off the architectural style. Those who want to visit this objective should reserve one or two hours from their time in order to see all of the significant places.
