Anadolu Hisar is located on the Anatolian side of the Boshporus, the
area where Göksu River combines with the sea. Anadolu Hisar which was
commissioned by Sultan Yıldırım Bayezid who wanted to conquer Istanbul
and besieged the city with an aim to obstruct the aid to Byzantine
Empire from the Black Sea in 1394, was not given much consideration
after the conquest of Istanbul.
Anadolu Hisar was supported in 1452 by Sultan Mehmet the conqueror
during the construction of Rumeli Hisar in 1452, by adding of some new
sections. The Hisar was used for some time as a prison and this Hisar
played an important role in the stopping of Kazakhs attacking Boshporus
in the 17th-18th centuries. In the following years, it lost its
importance. |
