The gates of Istanbul 10: Military Gate

The gate that Byzantine Empire used for military purposes. This is only the military gate that should be seen along the entire route. It was closed most of the  military gates by Ottomans and Byzantines because it was not necessary. Military gates are smaller than civil gates and are unpretentious architecturally.

The gate is called the first military gate because is first military gate at the point where land of walls begin.

On the gate, we can see a Jesus monogram.

Now, let’s walk from Botanical Park to the Golden Gate.
