Rumeli Hisar
The great
fortress of Rumeli Hisar, built by Sultan Mehmet II in the year
1452, is located immediately opposite Anadolu Hirasi, which was built by
Yildirim Beyazit I sixty years earlier. With a fortress on either side
of the Bosphorus, it was the first step in Mehmets plan to capture the
Byzantine capital.
Mehmet
had sent out orders throughout his Empire for 1000 skilled masons and 2000
workmen to collect wood and building stone and to assemble here in the spring, Stone was brought from Anatolia. Mehmet himself laid out the
design, dictated by the lie of the land, and each of his three Vezirs, the
Grand Vezir, Candarli Halil Pasa, Zaganos Pasa, and Saruca Pasa were made
responsible for building a tower, while the Sultan himself undertook the
walls and bastions, introducing a healthy sprit of competition.
When it was completed a garrison of 400 Janissaries was stationed in it and here
they tried out the range of their new cannons by training them on any
ships rash enough to try to pass.
After the
Conquest, the fortress found a new role as a prison before gradually
falling into disrepair.
In 1953, 500
years after the Conquest, Rumeli Hisar Fortress was well restored, and the
space inside laid out with lawns and paths. The cistern on which the
mosque once stood still marked by the stump of its minaret was opened up
and converted into an open air theatre where plays and folk dancing are
performed during the summer, especially at the time of the Istanbul
Festival.
