Great Walls... of Turkey


Crumbling and decrepit, the city walls that once surrounded Istanbul remain an integral part of the city. Lining the main roads cars go in and out of the ancient wall entrances as an integral part of society. Forts tower above the hills where Turkish flags still wave in the breeze. Although farmers have claimed the surrounding land where water runs off these ancient walls, it still remains a center piece of tourism in Istanbul and some of the most beautiful spots of the city.
