It's under restoration. The people were so helpful to explain the details in English. Here you can see the Golden Gate. The place is good for kids, just be careful viewpoint because there is a place without the fence. It's not wheelchair and stroller-friendly. And they asked us 100 TL for entrance.

(Translated by Google) Yedikule Fortress and Dungeons are on the coastal road stretching from Sarayburnu to Bakırköy. Between the years 413 and 439 II. Two pylons of the Golden Gate and two towers belonging to the land walls; After the conquest of Istanbul, Yedikule Fortress took its present appearance with the addition of a three-tower wall. The towers of the fortress, which gave the name of the neighborhood and the fortress to which it is located, entangled; South Pylon Tower, North Pylon Tower, Inscriptions Tower, Ball Tower, III. Ahmet Tower is the Treasury Tower and the Flag Tower. The Yedikule Fortress and Dungeons were used as a dungeon where many of the local and constructive prisoners were imprisoned, although it was used as a fortress, where the state treasury was kept and loot gathered for a long period, starting from the first years of the conquest. During the years when Hisar was used as a dungeon, many famous names of the period testified to his conviction. The most important of these is Young Osman, who was nicknamed Young Osman. Osman became. Young Osman was brought to Yedikule Dungeons after the throne was lowered by the janissaries and was brutally murdered here. Other important names imprisoned in Yedikule Dungeons other than Young Osman; Trabzon Greek Emperor David Kommenos and his sons, the last Abbasid Caliph IV. He is the Deputy and Crimean Khan Mehmed Giray. Yedikule Fortress and Dungeons have been the scene of many renovations until today. The most comprehensive restoration in recent years was carried out between 1958 and 1970 by the restoration team under the coordination of one of the first female Turkish architects Architect Cahide Tamer. (Original) Yedikule Hisarı ve Zindanları, Sarayburnu’ndan Bakırköy’e uzanan sahil yolu üzerindedir. 413–439 yılları arasında II. Teodosios zamanında yaptırılan, imparatorların zafer alayları ile şehre giriş yaptığı zamanlarda kullandığı Altın Kapı’nın iki pilonu ile kara surlarına ait iki kuleye; İstanbul’un fethinin ardından üç kuleli bir surun eklenmesiyle Yedikule Hisarı bugünkü görünümünü almıştır. Bulunduğu muhite ve hisara adını veren hisarının beşgen çerçevesini dolanan kuleleri; Güney Pylon Kulesi, Kuzey Pylon Kulesi, Kitabeler Kulesi, Top Kulesi, III. Ahmet Kulesi, Hazine Kulesi ve Bayrak Kulesi’dir. Yedikule Hisarı ve Zindanları, fethin ilk yıllarından başlamak üzere uzunca bir dönem devlet hazinesinin muhafaza edildiği ve ganimetlerin toplandığı bir hisar olarak kullanılmış olsa da hafızalara, yerli ve yapancı pek çok mahkûmun hapsedildiği bir zindan olarak kullanılmasıyla kazınmıştır. Hisar zindan olarak kullanıldığı yıllarda dönemin pek çok ünlü ismi mahkûmiyetine tanıklık etmiştir. Bunlardan en önemlisi genç yaşta tahta çıkan Genç Osman lakaplı II. Osman olmuştur. Genç Osman yeniçeriler tarafından tahtan indirildikten sonra Yedikule Zindanları’na getirilmiş ve burada hunharca katledilmiştir. Genç Osman’dan başka Yedikule Zindanları’na hapsedilen diğer önemli isimler; Trabzon Rum İmparatoru David Kommenos ve oğulları, son Abbasi Halifesi IV. Mütevekkil ve Kırım Hanı Mehmed Giray’dır. Yedikule Hisarı ve Zindanları günümüze değin birçok yenileme çalışmasına sahne olmuştur. Son yıllarda en kapsamlı restorasyonunu 1958 – 1970 yılları arasında ilk kadın türk mimarlarından biri olan Mimar Cahide Tamer’in koordinatörlüğündeki restorasyon ekibi tarafından gerçekleştirilmiştir.

Looks nice from the outside, but it’s closed for renovation (for 3 years as the security told me) 🤷🏻‍♂️

Yedikule Hisari or the Seven Towers Fortress in Istanbul. It was built in 1458 by Ottoman Sultan Mehmed II, aka Mehmed the Conqueror (1432-1481), five years after the conquest of Constantinople. It can be a clear indication that Mehmed was not sure that other states were not going to counterattack the city of his dreams. Fortress was built in the southwest corner of ancient Theidosian Walls of Constantinople and the Golden Gate built in IV-V centuries A.D. by Roman Emperors Theodosius I (347-395) and Theodosius II (401-450) and was incorporated in the structure of the city defense. There were only four Golden Gates for the entire history of mankind. They are the Golden Gates of Jerusalem, Constantinople, Kiev, and Vladimir. Already in the XV century, this fortress became the prison because Istanbul was never threatened to suffer foreign military invasion till XIXcentury. That's why sometimes it is named Yedikule Zindanlari. Among most noticeable prisoners were Sultan Osman II (1604-1622), who was executed here by Janissaries, Emperor David Megas Komnenos of Trebizond (1408-1463), King Simon I of Kartli (Eastern Georgia) (1537-1611) and entire Russian Embassy with Ambassador Alexei Obrezkov (1718-1787) were imprisoned here in 1768 when Russo-Turkish War of 1768-1774 started. Istanbul, 🇹🇷 Turkey 🇹🇷. May- November 2, 2023.

The fortress is still in renovation, but the few chambers that you can access are well preserved and authentic. You can also climb to the top and the view up there is stunning. In my opinion, it's better than the one you get to see from the Galata Tower. The entrance is rather inexpensive (100 TL), and since you get to see a fortress and a view that is better than the one from Galata (the entrance there is 350 TL), I think it well deserves the price. It's honestly way underrated. I think I only saw 2 other people the entire time I was visiting it.

(Translated by Google) The group of land walls and towers surrounding Istanbul from the southwest is called Yedikule dungeons among the people. It is possible to go to dungeons by bus or train from any part of Istanbul, today it is still used as a museum and all dungeons and towers cannot be visited due to insufficient lighting. The history of Yedikule dungeons dates back to old times. Centuries ago, there was a triumph of victory made by thedosius i in the place of yedikule, which is ms. It was turned into the entrance gate of the city in 412. A tower was added to the left and right by Thedosius ii and connected to the land walls; Emperors who returned from victory would pass through this gate that opened to the biggest street of the city (pole street). The arch and the front of the door were silent with gilding. Although there are not many traces of these gilding today, this door is known as the golden door. Torture section Byzantine artifacts that form the western facade of Yedikule, Altınkapı-walls, dungeons have been repaired in various ages and have been overhauled many times. Yedikule dungeons, which used to be the place where weapons and state treasures were stored, lost their importance by transferring them to the topkapi palace. One of the towers was used for prisoners and death row prisoners during the Byzantine times, and tools, cells and wells for torture are still available. Towers were used as prison for important prisoners, Tatar inns and ambassadors of the war states during the Ottoman period. The most interesting of these towers is the inscription tower on the left side of the museum entrance door. In the past, prisoners were imprisoned in the tower, and the water needs of the prisoners were supplied from the water well located in the middle of the tower. (Original) İstanbul'u güneybatıdan çevreleyen kara surları ve kuleler topluluğuna halk arasında yedikule zindanları denilmektedir.zindanlara istanbul'un herhangi bir kesiminden otobüs ya da tren ile gitmek mümkündür, bugün hala müze olarak kullanılmakta olup yetersiz ışıklandırma nedeniyle tüm zindan ve kuleler gezilememektedir. Yedikule zindanlarının tarihi oldukça eskiye dayanıyor.asırlar önce yedikule'nin bulunduğu yerde thedosius i 'in yaptırdığı zafer tak'ı vardı , bu tak m.s. 412'de şehrin giriş kapısı haline getirildi. Thedosius ii tarafından sağ ve soluna birer kule eklenerek kara surlarına bağlandı ; şehrin en büyük caddesine (direkli cadde ) açılan bu kapıdan genellikle zaferden dönen imparatorlar geçerdi.kapının kemer ve cephesi altın yaldızlarla susluydu. bugün bu altın yaldızlardan pek bir eser kalmamasına rağmen bu kapı altın kapı olarak anılır. İşkence bölümü yedikulenin batı cephesini oluşturan bizans eserleri altınkapı-surlar-zindanlar çeşitli çağlarda türlü tamirat görmüş ve birçok defa elden geçirilmiştir. önceleri silahların ve devlet hazinelerinin saklandığı yer olan yedikule zindanları , bunların topkapı sarayı'na nakledilmesiyle önemini kaybetti. kulelerden biri bizanslılar zamanında tutuklular ve idam mahkumları icin kullanılırdı ve burada işkence için gerekli aletler , hücreler ve kuyular hala mevcuttur. osmanlılar döneminde önemli tutuklular , tatar hanları , savaaş yapılan devletlerin elçileri için kuleler hapishane olarak kullanılmıştır. bu kulelerin en ilgi çekeni ise müze giriş kapısının sol tarafında bulunan kitabeler kulesidir.bu kule içine eskiden mahkumlar hapsedilir , mahkumların su ihtiyacı ise kulenin ortasında bulunan su kuyusundan temin edilirdi.

Europe, or if you ride in from the airport along the seashore, you will probably notice this fortress looming over the city's southern approaches. One of İstanbul’s major landmarks, it has a history as substantial as its massive structure – starting in the late 4th century, when Theodosius the Great built a triumphal arch here. When the next Theodosius built his massive land walls, he incorporated the arch into the structure.

An old fortress but going through restoration phase. Fortress of Seven Towers built by Mehmet II in 1458 Entrance fee is 100 TL but kids are free. If you are visiting it in these days, it is still open for visitors. They are restoring all major parts of the fort. You cannot go on stairs. We couldn’t see the Dungeons but still it was worth to view other parts. Ruins of old mosque Eyüp Kasim mosque are also there and that is also under restoration. The fort is quite big but you can visit the main part i believe.

Very fantastic place to visit. Now history can be felt more deeply

Yedikule Hasari is a hidden gem in Istanbul, giving off major former Constantinople vibes. This ancient fortress, dating back to the Byzantine era and near where the famous Golden Gate was located, offers killer views of the city. Exploring its walls and towers feels like stepping back in time. A cool spot to soak in history and take amazing pics worth sharing with friends and family! Entrance is 100TL (about $3USD), they take credit card but it is recommended to bring cash just in case. Beware, the location is not in a touristy area whatsoever, which if you are a vagabond dragon like us, you would wholeheartedly embrace and look forward to it. Depending on where you start from, there are different bus routes that can take you nearby. It took us about 20 minutes from Sultanahmet, taking public transportation that cost only 15TL (under 50 cents USD) per person. In any case, ask either locals or staff at your favorite restaurant or hotel, for the most efficient way to get there. It is worth it!

(Translated by Google) We went, the door wall has been closed for a long time, unfortunately, we would not have gone in vain if they had given information about the process somewhere.

Although the place is still under restoration works, but the tour was really good and save.

On 5 October 2021 the gate of the fortress/museum was locked, no information posted. The access to the outer side of Golden Gate is fenced off, and the further approach is blocked by a cemetery.

A great sightseeing to visit! Spacious, with great view from the top. It has several modern installations that makes it magical. Still under restoration but it doesn’t disturb. At that moment it was free for locals and people with permanent permit.

Very good castle to visit, views over sea of marmara and also along wall of constantinople.

Beautiful view, very reasonable price and very few people. Nice to Walk on the byzantine walls

The place is nice and easy to see. Free of charge with tour on weekends if you register beforehand and only 25 TL for students otherwise. However, most of the place is under restoration. Even the towers you can enter are only partially accessible.

The Yedikule Dungeons Museum charges an entry fee of 100 Lira for tourists. The museum is comprised of several towers, including one that visitors can ascend to enjoy a panoramic view of Istanbul. While the museum primarily features ruins, the Golden Gate is a standout attraction, offering a magnificent sight. This museum is recommendable for those who appreciate ancient architecture and a sense of nostalgia.

It's been closed since 2016 and noone knows if it's going to re open or not. To get here one can get on the bus 80T or take marmaray to Kazlicesme stop. But don't waste your time in vain. Go elsewhere.

At least you can see the outside I suppose but the police have taken this over and it's shut to the public for the foreseeable future. Rather annoying the tourist office still sending people there but hey - someone has to be the first to find this out eh!

If you want to stand on a gate that emporers passed through, you must see this place. It has an amazing lstanbul view from top of its towers. There are still some parts of 15th century and 5th century remains, so it is an interesting feeling to step from 21st century to 15th and 5th centuries just taking a few steps. Traveling backwards in time....👌🏾✨

It is close for public. I think you can do a guide tour to visit some open areas. Museum is close, towers can't be visit. There is not information about opening time.

Nice and you can see the hestory And how people living in the castle

Beautifully restored site still doing some excavating. Fascinating history, friendly and knowledgable staff, nice cafe with limited but delicious choices, and clean bathrooms.

Out of the way but a great place to . The only reason for 3 stars was because quite a lot of the areas were blocked off for refurbishment, I assume for the centenary celebrations.entrace fee was cash only and .ocal currency. Very peaceful as not many people and the views from the top were great

Yedikule Hisar Is a fortress Museum with a best panoramic view of Istanbul. It is a must visit place in 2023 the ticket costs 100 Turkish lira.

One of the hidden gems in Istanbul! It's a very cheap museum (100TL) and you are able to explore virtually the entire fortress. See the golden gate, walk around the area in front of it, enter the dungeons, climb to the top of the wall and get a panoramic view of the area and the Marmara. Simply fantastic and worth the time.

Great view for marmaray sea and cityscape of Istanbul old town. Reasonable ticket price(100TL). Some areas are under renovation now. But main tower still opens for going up.

Sadly just one part of the wall is accessible, so not at all the best views in town you would imagine to get. The fortress has many towers and the wall has very good views of the Marmara sea and the gateway from the Bosphorus, but it's closed to the public. You can just go up the wall facing outwards (in line with the rest of Theodosian wall) and the views aren't worth it (just cars and a station). Go there when the sun is right to make good photos of cargo ships and forget it if you think you'll see Hagia Sophia from there.

Poor management. High entrance fee, for not much to see.

Its an Ottoman castle in Yedikule used to be prison in old time during Ottoman period also there is a gate near by to enter Istanbul

Under restoration, so could not see it

Golden Gate photo as of 26.03.2019. Must have been better preserved.

As amazing it is to be near these ancient beautiful walls, it won't be easy to figure out how to go inside here. The police station nearby isn't helpful when it comes to speaking any other language. The gorgeous sea view from the top is breathtaking.

This place was shut for renavation for the lady 5 years.

Another site with tourist must visit

You get a rare sense of Byzantium

Yedikule, aslında adı gibi bir zindan oluşturmak amacı ile değil, Bizans'a misafir gelen kralları ve yabancı sarayların mensuplarını ihtişamlı bir şekilde karşılamak için yapıldı. Türk Tarih Kurumu'nun yaptığı araştırmalara ve elde edilen tarihi verilere göre, başlıkta belirtilen Altın Kapı'yı bir zafer takı olarak dönemin Bizans İmparatoru Theodosius inşa ettirdi. Theodosius'tan sonra tahta geçen oğlu da dört tane yüksek gözlem kulesinden oluşan bir kaleyi kapı ile birleştirdi.

(Translated by Google) The Ministry of Culture and Tourism rented the fortress, which the public calls 'Yedikule Dungeons', to a private company for 30 years, provided that the original texture is not damaged. However, the company was quick to enter the structure, which dates back to the Byzantine period, with bulldozers. To make the runway, the company removed the original stones from the fortress floor and poured gravel instead, and the stones were thrown around randomly. Trees have also been cut down to expand the area. Neither the company, the ministry nor the board officials made a statement about the practices criticized by archaeologists and art historians. Hisar previously hosted concerts and theater performances for short periods. However, it was the first time that it was rented for such a long time. Radikal newspaper wrote how this incident took place as follows: (Original) Kültür ve Turizm Bakanlığı, halkın 'Yedikule Zindanları' dediği hisarı özgün dokuya zarar gelmemesi koşuluyla 30 yıllığına özel bir şirkete kiraladı. Ancak şirket tarihi Bizans dönemine kadar giden yapıya buldozerlerle girmekte gecikmedi. Şirket, pist yeri yapmak için hisar zeminindeki orijinal taşları sökerek yerine mıcır döktü, çıkan taşlar da rastgele etrafa atıldı. Alanın genişlemesi için ağaçlar da kesildi. Arkeolog ve sanat tarihçilerinin eleştirdiği uygulamalar hakkında ne şirket, ne bakanlık ne de kurul yetkilileri açıklama yaptı. Hisar, daha önceleri kısa süreler için konser ve tiyatro gösterilerine ev sahipliği yapmıştı. Ancak, ilk kez bu denli uzun süreliğine kiralandı.

Wish we could enter

Part of the Theodosian walls in Istanbul, 15 m from Sultanahmet

Closed for renovation. Can not see towers, only walk outside of walls. Very disappointing if you spent time to get here.

Couldn't find the way to the golden gate. One can see it from the cemetery, but all paths are heavily fenced.

It's wonderful that you can get in touch with history, it's great place to visit especially when you understand that people were fighting, dying there. It's amazing.

It has a great history. If you are looking for where the Golden gate of Roman empire or Constantinople that is the place. But you will not find the golden gate any more. To get in you have to pay 100 TL (2022) You can go over the walls and see beautiful marmara sea and city walls of Constantinople.

Nice place to visit. Not really close, but great views from top of the Golden Gate towers. Big reconstruction works inside, and lots of banners are making inner view measy.

Highlight is the the view from the "golden gate". The towers are empty and at the moment, there is no possibility to walk on the walls. An informative and very good guided tour in Turkish is available. An informative booklet in English is included. It is easily accessible by Marmaray and one could walk to Samatya afterwards to explore a non-touristic neighbourhood.

Amazing historical building with great views. That being said, the restoration done is horrible. There are no describtion of anything anywhere. You just wander around without knowing the historical details of the place. The inner area is filled with garbage and construction debris. Such a huge dissapointment in terms of the restoration done by the local municipality

The museum is under maintenance yet you can access most of the sites.

The castle itself is nice to see. Part is closed due to renovation, but you can still go to the top to enjoy the view. No additional information is given inside the castle. This makes it hard to learn about the place. The lack of information and long distance away from other tourist sides make me hesitant to recommend. Note there is an entrance fee of 100TL.

The place is very good, quiet and clean. Restoration is continuing but you can visit and see some parts of the castle. It's free if you reserve early otherwise it's paid.
