Wall Of Heraclius (Heraklius Surları)

This section of the Blachernae Walls is located in Ayvansarai and was built in 627 AD by the Imperator Heraclius to protect the Blachernae Church. In 813, Emperor Leo V built another outer wall, so now only the upper part of the towers can be seen. From the inside, access to the walls is blocked by private property and the territory of the mosque. The three towers are 12 meters high and have a hexagonal shape. From the inside, a wide staircase leads to the wall, supported by arched structures.
