Rumelihisari - Citadel - 2 Photo

Photographer’s Note

Rumelihisarı is a fortress located in Istanbul, Turkey on a hill at the European side of the Bosporus just north of the Bebek district; giving the name of the quarter around it. It was built by the Ottoman Sultan Mehmed II between 1451 and 1452, before he conquered Constantinople. The three great towers were named after three of Mehmed II's vezirs, Sadrazam Candarlı Halil Pasha, who built the big tower next to the gate, Zağanos Pasha, who built the south tower, and Sarıca Pasha, who built the north tower.

Hey Hakki,

Very nice capture of Rumeli Hisari. I know the place well and photographed during the day light, but never seen that during night.

A very pleasing shot of the old castle at night although it looks like the tower on the right is lacking some light.
