Constructed by Fatih Sultan Mehmet in 1452, the Rumeli Fortress was strategically designed to prevent aid from reaching the city from the north of the Bosphorus during a siege. Remarkably erected in just four months, it stands directly opposite the Anadolu Fortress. The fortress spans an impressive 30 decares and boasts three large towers and walls, four main gates, and a secondary gate known as the Cemetery Gate.
