A very majestic and fascinating building, now inhabited by local residents and, although strange, but quite organically integrated into the modern city. We walked along the wall along Khoja Chakir Street, the view is less pompous, but interesting. From the outside, it looks more belligerent. Unfortunately, in some places the surrounding situation is alarming, on the other hand, you feel even more strongly about the defenders of the ancient city, who stood to the death before the Ottomans.

Величественно. Завораживает. Мороз по коже, когда представляешь, КАКОВО было брать эти стены. Местами отреставрировано, местами в упадке но все равно очень впечатляет. Обязательно к посещению, если основные достопримечательности уже утомили. Добраться напрямую сложно, проще всего метро+трамвай. Денег за осмотр не берут, можно часами бродить по улочкам, прилегающим к стене, есть кафе и магазины.

Theodosian walls.
It's not a very popular tourist destination, but it's worth paying attention to.
We walked from Yedikule Castle to the walls opposite the monastery of Chora.
In some places there are restored sections, in some places there are fragments of walls (but the old masonry is visible).
Closer to the Yedikule Castle, there are now vegetable gardens in the place of the former moat.
