EDITORS COMMENTS
Rumeli Hisari, a formidable fortress standing proudly on the European side of the Bosphorus in Istanbul, Turkey, is a testament to the rich history and architectural prowess of the Ottoman Empire. Built by Sultan Mehmet II between 1451 and 1452, the castle was constructed as a strategic defense mechanism prior to his conquest of Constantinople, now Istanbul. The fortress, also known as Rumeli Hisari or Rumeli Hisar, was completed in an impressive four-month timeframe. The Rumeli Hisari is a masterpiece of military architecture, featuring imposing ramparts, towering battlements, and strategically placed towers. The castle's design allowed it to control the Bosphorus Strait, a vital waterway connecting the Black Sea to the Sea of Marmara and the Mediterranean. After the 16th century, the castle served as a prison, holding numerous political prisoners and captives. In 1953, the castle underwent extensive restoration in honor of the 500th anniversary of the conquest of Istanbul, preserving its historical significance for future generations. The photo print, taken circa 1910, captures the Rumeli Hisari in its timeless beauty, standing proudly on the edge of the Bosphorus, its silhouette framed by the shimmering waters and the European coastline. The castle's towers and battlements, bathed in the soft light, evoke a sense of awe and wonder, transporting us back in time to an era of grandeur and power.
