The Walls of Istanbul are the city walls built during the Byzantine period and located around Istanbul. The walls surrounding Istanbul were built starting from the 5th century and were rebuilt and demolished four times. The last construction was after 408 AD. During the reign of Theodosius II (408-450), the walls of Istanbul extended from Sarayburnu along the Golden Horn to Ayvansaray on this side and along the Marmara coast to Yedikule, from Yedikule to Topkapı, from Topkapı to Ayvansaray. The Walls of Constantinople are a series of defensive stone walls that have surrounded and protected the city of Constantinople(today Istanbul in Turkey) since its founding as the new capital of the Roman Empire by Constantine the Great. With numerous additions and modifications during their history, they were the last great fortificationsystem of antiquity, and one of the most complex and elaborate systems ever built. #Qustuntunia istanbul #istanbulwall #yedikule #constantinapole
